Nailing The Minor Pentatonic- 12 Week Course

In this 12 week-long course originally published on my Patreon, we're going to explore the minor pentatonic in all keys and from many different angles.

Here are some of the things we're going to do:

• Single String Patterns
• String Groups of 2-6
• String Skipping
• 2 notes per string
• 3 notes per string
• 4 notes per string
• Alternate Picking
• Hybrid Picking
• Economy Picking
• Legato
• Tapping
• Bending
• Slides
• Tapping Harmonics

Besides all that technical stuff we're going to REALLY learn the sound of the scale through working on Solfege and my way of learning the fretboard through what I call "triangulating the fretboard" to enable you to visualize and hear the scale like never before.

Your level of playing doesn't matter, as long as you're working on something you don't know already you'll improve a lot.

We'll start by going through some foundational exercises and I'll keep adding exercises and techniques every week to keep things interesting through all 12 weeks.
