Hi guys
I learnt a basic pentatonic scale on A chord and just wondered how easy it would be to create a mini solo from this? I have started going through the scale and move up and down the strings and add a little bending etc. Any ideas?
I know this was posted a while ago but just joined so thought I'd put my 2 cents in. Hope you are getting some good solos in with that shape but have you started using any of the other shapes yet? There are five to learn in total, but only five, which you can then apply to any key. I'm a great believer in building up all the shapes at the same time - don't worry your brain can handle it. After all it just the same amount of notes per string as the one you have already learnt just in a different pattern each time. If you spend just five minutes on each shape every day (total of 25 mins scale practice) you will be really surprised how much progress you make. The fretboard will open up before you, your solos will be less restricted and your playing confidence will grow and grow. I teach all my students with this principle in mind and they all make really good progress.
Let me know how you get on.
