  Difficulty 3 of 10 Swing Modulation LessonDevelop an ear for modulation! We will build musical ideas around C Major going into C minor using the Ionian and Aeolian scale along with the corresponding Major and minor pentatonics.  Difficulty 6 of 10 Pentatonic Modulation WorkoutThis lesson will focus on a serie of modulation. All the different keys will be minor keys and we will be using minor pentatonic scales only. I tried to include different pentatonic boxes for you to use, but you can use any box you want as long as you are staying in the correct key.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Phrygian PentatonicsPentatonics are extremely useful to create cool solos. But what if we added some notes to them? How about adding to the pentatonics the notes that would make them work on modes?  Difficulty 4 of 10 Dorian Pentatonics LessonThe secret is to add a Major sixth to the minor blues scale - it is what makes a minor scale sound dorian. Memorize the few boxes and then work on the licks. These should be helpful to build your musical vocabulary.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Touch Technique Sus2 ArpeggiosThis lesson is inspired by Joe Satriani's tapping (listen to "Day at the Beach", "Unforgotten part 1" or "Midnight"), but also by Loureiro's and Tafolla's. You can use this exercice in lot of situations, for instance in some sweet introductions or in fast parts of a song.  Difficulty 5 of 10 Major and Minor PentatonicsPlaying a minor pentatonic over a dominant 7 chord is a great way to add a bluesy feel to an improvisation. The tension heard when playing a minor third over the major third of the track is what makes blues so interesting.  Difficulty 6 of 10 Staccato LessonThis kind of dampening technique is standard for bass players, but for some reason not quite as known among guitarists.After I play the note I slightly remove both finger and the string off the fretboard while still gently touching the string with the finger. That helps to stop ringing of open string.  Difficulty 4 of 10 D Pentatonic BendingThis lesson will give you a healthy dose of cliche rock bending licks! Also, be sure to think about bending with all fingers - while maintaining a good tone.  Difficulty 5 of 10 Funky LessonThis solo has been composed using G# pentatonic minor and A pentatonic major scales. IThis style of playing is commonly used in jazz. This tune is a good example to show you that you can play using many scales anywhere you want.
