Changing Pentatonic Scale in Minor Keys - What Happens?

Learn how changing pentatonic scale over minor key progressions can open up your musical options for playing melodic guitar solos.

In this lesson, I show you an alternative to playing the same minor pentatonic scale over a chord progression.

By changing pentatonic scales with the chords, we can connect to those chords more musically and expand our phrasing options.

Well after years of struggling to find the time to upload more than once a month, I'm finally in a position where I can increase the output. So here's the plan. From now, fortnightly uploads. If that proves do-able, weekly. Thank you everyone for all the comments (positive and critical), subs and likes you have given this humble channel. Love you all.

Every lesson is fantastic. This is exactly the type of content that I've always wanted/needed. This is what makes you a well-rounded musician, and not just another guy playing minor pentatonic over everything, and the same old open position and barre chords.
