  • In this lead guitar lesson, we’ll go over the five pentatonic scale shapes. These shapes are essentially the “Meat & Potatoes” of lead guitar. This is because they sound great over many styles of music, and are relatively easy to start improvising with.

      Thanks for the Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Rozardner Inspiring Chord Reality (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome one off product for how to play guitar scales without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy at very last got astronomical success with it.

      Kudos for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Rozardner Inspiring Chord Reality (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off guide for how to play guitar scales without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my BF after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.

    thanks for doing these. they're so well put together, well edited, the sound mix is spot on, the tab super is not overwhelming, and your pace is perfect for following along. all of your lessons that I've watched so far have been extremely helpful. as someone who's relearning how to play from the ground up, I have truly appreciated all of the effort and time that goes into making these. they're perfect for me to watch and re-watch as I try and relearn how to play. thanks to you and your team for keeping them consistent, well organized, and free. I'll be a better player because of your efforts.

    There is a life before this video and then there is one after it. Finally learnt the Pentatonic scales and understood their roots. I have been learning guitar by listening to songs while learning the guitar parts but this approach is much better and makes learning easier.

    Great video.... when I watched this I suddenly realised I actually knew 90% of this but had not connected the dots on the major / minor and related chord info. Very much like your straight to it style and core information approach.... without the irrelevant pre-amble you get on most similar lesson videos. Thanks so much I will be watching you again.

    This is helpful, thank you. I consider myself "intermediate" in terms of technique, but I still don't have my Pentatonic shapes down!
    I can play lots of stuff, I understand the CAGED shapes & how 6 relate to each other... and I'm learning to improvise basically by lots of playing, I learn where to find the notes I want.
    But I could play faster when I improvise if I knew these shapes, lol.
    This has helped me greatly in terms of understanding how the pentatonic shapes relate, and fit together. Also I just (finally) understood the relative Major & minor thing.
    Now it makes more sense.

      So is there also five shapes for the other pentatonic scales? Like I thought there's E ,A and what else? I'm a bit confused on training myself..so there's five shapes and chords that go with the shapes right ? What about the others? Is there A-G pentatonics? And five for each one, the same as G pentatonic?? I hope my questions make sense. Thank You so much. I have full plate to work on now. Very Quality teaching. I drew it all out
