Connect All 5 Pentatonic Scale Positions With This Hidden Pathway - Lead Guitar Lesson

The pentatonic scale is probably the most famous guitar scale. In this guitar lesson, I'm going to show you how to connect all five pentatonic scale positions with one simple pathway. This will allow you to move freely between each of the five positions while soloing and improvising. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Just want to take a moment to acknowledge how great of a teacher you are.

[ZachScottB]

I was taught this by my first guitar teacher over 20 years ago.

You presented this very well.
Plus you explained it in detail, making this easy to grasp.
Thank you.

[hotwheels]

You explained it very in some advanced musical language. I will check out your other

[soteroureta]

This is the basis for the diagonal pentatonic concept - very well and clearly explained Andrew. BTW got your ear training course - it's very good. It provides a solid foundation for this essential skill needed by all guitarists/musicians. Highly recommend.

[EZBrewMn]

Well done. So detailed but easy to understand. Also a very fun practice. Thanks

[davidperyman]

Really great video this helped moving between the shapes click nicely for me

[Savageronin]

Yo!!!! Epic video, bro. I subbed. Appreciate you getting to it and not throwing a bunch of other stuff(it can be distracting). Typically when I hear someone complain it typically info overload. Well presented. Tks, will def be sharing

[smudge]

Lightbulb moment, I've been noodling around with this horizontal scale for a while now and always jump off at position 5. I hadn't until this video realized (I don't know why) that this maps to all 5 positions, so obvious! Clouds clear and the sun shines through.💡

[Dani-dkxu]

Subd right away. I already know this stuff but I remember looking for something similar a while back and I found nothing. Your lesson is very well executed.

[ltvddvtl]

This is absolutely fantastic. Beginners today have access to so much great content to make the journey easier. Really handy tip here. What would have made it even better would be if you had showed an example on how to use this pathway for a different key other Am/C. Meaning for example if your position or scale 1 was instead under B instead of under A. So position 1 at B minor. You didn't have to show the whole thing again. Just show how to use it or adapt it to a different key.

imagine if when most guitarist first start out with scales if we learned theory more this way vs just descending and I jammed with a buddy one day and he showed me this spider walk going more left and right vs up and down.... and it finally clicked in my head how to get my playing more musically. the up and downs are good but moving left to right is where the dancing shines.

[sonothunder]

I see how you got position 5 for the a minor pentatonic where you did. I saw a resource showing position 5 for the g minor pentatonic scale at the 15th fret so I guess it depends on which note you want to start on. 😅

[jamesmilton]

This video was really mind blowing. I really recommend you to please upload the next stage of this video please, it’s a humble request.

[NDFlyFisher]

Great lesson. I’ve struggled to connect the 5 positions. This is very helpful.

[RickyPearson]

This is a really great lesson. Thank you

[AngelaPsarombas-wnip]

Epic! 🎸OMG😮💕Thank you Andrew . You’re an excellent teacher, clear and Concise! After all these years, the Penny finally dropped for me 🙏

[wilbertmurry]

Can these pentatonic scale positions be adjusted to play in all keys?
