Sorry for waiting Eddie!
This issue usually comes when you are practicing scales just like scales, I had same problem years ago tho. Main idea is to play bunch of solos and licks using different scales modes. It can be your own work or material by other guitarists,doesn't matter. That way you'll be more free to start not only from root as those lick and solos are starting from different degrees. But you can do similar exercise by yourself as well. Take some scale or mode per example,one position and start playing it using all strings as a starting point,not only low E which is most common I guess. Then change positions and do the same using different strings to start,through all 7 position. Incorporate that into every scale you're practicing! Keep me updated on this!

Hi Eddie,it's always good to hear from you!
You did good job with looping backings, easy to practice and I'm very glad you hear that you're not starting only from root now, visualizing fretboard and locating root is a smart way, well done Eddie! About speed,well,not sure if I can share some words of wisdom here,it'll come with the time, just practice,speed is all about practicing. Ohh,and thanks for your warm wishes for London Eddie, well appreciated!!! This post has been edited by Muris Varajic: Jun 6 2008, 12:38 PM -------------------- Youtube

Absolutely right Eddie,there are always 3 pentatonic scales
inside regular modes,or 3 major pentatonics if you try with relative majors,same notes.

QUOTE (eddiecat @ Jun 11 2008, 07:02 AM)  Thank you Oxac... Yes, I know what lesson you're talking about, (I skipped it immediately because it's far too difficult) but I never understood what it meant until now!  And I'm really glad I found out without anyone telling me! Ciao One thing Eddie,that lesson is not pure example about what we were talking about. Chords are changing and I'm following each of them with proper pentatonic scale. What we were talking about is use of 3 pentas over same chord,root chord per example. Lets say we're in key of Am and Am chord is playing all the time, that means we can use A,D and E minor pentatonics. But if we are in A Dorian with Am chord playing as well, then we have A,B and E minor pentatonics as options. Try all this and more using all modes. Thank for hint Oxac,I almost forgot about that lesson.
