Ivan Milenkovic23rd April 2008Thanks a lot guys!
I realize that the lesson may seem very similar at first glance, but they are not. For beginners they are essential and moving through the whole series really improves every aspect of pentatonic scale
Nick32523rd April 2008awsome
Nemanja Filipovic23rd April 2008great pentatonic series man,very useful.
Kenneth DK24th April 2008You should really tab that intro... Sounds awesome.
- Ivan Milenkovic24th April 2008
You mean the first part?
Something very similar is being done as we speak. The fifth lesson of the series will have a pentatonic solo that will utilize everything learned in first 4 lessons. I am also considering in making a 6th lesson where I talk about pentatonic use in fusion and jazz, but there is time for that. 
Vinod Saranga24th April 2008Great lesson & main video is very inspiring.

slak26th April 2008Great Lesson Ivan. Exactly what I needed. Thanks
- Ivan Milenkovic26th April 2008
Thanks! I'm glad you find it useful!
Gus21st June 2008This class is really great! I think I will incorporate it on my regular practicing, just increasing speed day by day.
Just one suggestion. For the diagonal patterns, it would be useful to add some text explanation. It took me 2-3 times coming back the video to be really sure about it.- Ivan Milenkovic21st June 2008
Suggestion noted for future lessons. Thanks Gus.

Hi Ivan,
few moire questions. I've been doing first and second part of your series for the past two weeks. I wanted to know whether i need to play the patterns from the second part with the top speed from the first part ? Or just match with your tempo ? And additionally, can u write how much time do u think have to be spent on the whole series ? Month ? Two ?
Cheers,
Pawel - Zlipfink23rd August 2009
Hey Ivan, awesome workshop. One question, what do you mean by "legato"? Hammer Ons or simply a fluent playing?

You don't have to exactly match the tempo with mine in the lesson. You can do it slower or even faster, the faster the better. However, it is crucial that you play it precise. This will enable you to comfortably use it later in your playing. Time spent on the lessons depends on the level of the player, and the tempo he is aiming for. If you practice this lesson for some time, arguably more faster and more precise you will become. The important question that you may ask yourself is:"How can this pattern and way of playing improve my current playing? Do I want to create fast runs out of it, or just enrich the way I play pentatonic shapes on a standard tempo?Hey Ivan, awesome workshop. One question, what do you mean by "legato"? Hammer Ons or simply a fluent playing?
Greetings
Thanks my friend. Legato is just a way of playing, incorporating lots of hammer on/pull off/slide/tapping techniques, so that the fretting hand is doing most of the work. I believe that fluent playing is something that could be applied to any kind of technique, so yes, fluent playing is what counts always, no matter what you play. But, when I say legato, I mean incorporating those techniques mentioned above, not fluent playing on itself.
cheers,
Ivan - BlueWild18th October 2011
No words to say thanks man, this was exactly what i was looking for!
- Ivan Milenkovic20th October 2011
Great, glad you found what you need my friend. Happy practicing. If you need any help, please let me know!

Hi GMC, welcome to my second-in-line lesson from the "Pentatonic Workshop" series. As you knwo from the main video, this series are a set of pentatonic exercises designed for one purpose - to make you a better player.
In this lesson we go one step further and introduce more advanced pentatonic patterns for you to practice. Unlike the previous lesson where we could practice along with the lesson, here you can only find examples of patterns and must take a metronome and practice "offline" in order to really learn the stuff well before we go on to the Level 3!
Have fun! :)
This lesson contains:
- Pentatonic Patterns
- Alternate picking and string skipping exercises
- CAGED shapes
