3 Rules For Making Pentatonic Scales Sound Good

[timothymoran]

As someone who has been a beginner for a couple of decades, memorizing the five pentatonic positions without making much in the way of music, I really appreciate this lesson. It's stuff I should have figured out myself, but it's nice to have someone give me a dope slap, and say, "this is how you make it sound like music." Thanks!

By learning classical style music as my foundation. It helped me to understand and prepare for learning other styles of music. I am only a beginner level 4 classical guitarist. And now I am learning your blues slide guitar and fingerstyle blues. Thank you for sharing your talents and experience of knowledge with us. Thanks John

This is a great lesson. I appreciate your minimalistic approach to soloing for beginners.

Every aspiring guitarist should watch this great common sense video before they get well and truly trapped in the maze of the 5 boxes. The countless videos "teaching" said boxes are actually doing a disservice IMHO - they bring "The Emperors' new clothes" to mind. Thank you David.

If I only woulda had this lesson 30 yrs ago. 😄

Thank you. Looking forward to more.

I have never thought in terms of boxes to learn scale patterns. Just think intervals and their location to each other. E.g. flat7 two frets back from root. 5th one string above root, 4th one string below etc. Applies anywhere on the neck. Just need to be aware of one fret difference when crossing the b string
