Pentatonic Scale Guitar
Hey guys,
If there’s one thing I get asked about the most as a guitar teacher, it’s the pentatonic scale. Guitar students everywhere want to know how to get the most out of this scale. Whatever style of music you’re into whether it’s rock, jazz, indie, or blues, this scale is your best friend.
To make things easy to begin with, I always say it’s best to experiment with these scales over blues music. The 12 bar blues is a nice repetitive sequence, so it’ll really help you to get used to the sound of the pentatonic scale. Guitar music in general stems from the blues in some way shape or form, so my advice is start there!
Now, in just a sec, I’m going to show you where you can download a really cool ‘Pentatonic Scale Cheat Sheet’ which shows you all the patterns you need and gives you some tips on how to convert it into the blues scale. You can print it out for your music stand, so make sure you check out the link I’ll share with you in a second.
