Instantly Connect All Your Pentatonic Shapes Like This (Works In Every Key)

In this guitar lesson, I want to show you how you can make a small adjustment to your pentatonic scale to break out of the notorious pentatonic box. We’ll be changing our way of thinking so we can move away from the standard vertical “guitar player” mindset, and into a more horizontal “vocalist” one. The main focus of the video is on one simple pentatonic scale shape that you can use to travel between three different pentatonic positions. Towards the end of the video, I’ll also talk about how this ties into the chord roadmaps and homebase concepts that I have taught in other lessons.

If you want to learn more about playing “horizontally,” please leave a comment and let me know so I can make a dedicated video. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Would you guys like to see a video on horizontal playing? Let me know!

[katariina]

I'd love to see a video that goes deeper into this horizontal stuff, that would be awesome and would help me (and many others, I'm sure) take that one step further. It's really cool that you make videos that help us progress, step by step. Thank you. :)

I have progressed with guitar more in one year by watching your videos than I have in the six I've been playing. Before I was just learning songs and developing techniques (which is still a good way to start imo, but I just got stuck), but now I finally feel like I can actually begin to express myself through an instrument. It's got me so stoked to keep learning. Thank you for everything you do for people like me who had no clue how to advance. I definitely would like to see the horizontal playing video you mentioned here.

Yeah, I would like to see video on slide and horizontal

[arepagan]

I wanted to point out how useful and spot on the speed of the narrative is. When needed I slow down the playback to 0.75x to dwell on specific points. When I do it is not painfully slow. 👍
