it is exactly what is needed..
i just joined GMC back in may, and it was very difficult to get startet.. What i did was to go through and read Andrews great theory lessons.. he has a big "Where to start" thing which has an index and a nice overview of theory.. This is actually the list i decided to go after.. so when he began talking about the minor pentatonic, which is somewhat in the beginning, i decided that i had to spend a lot of time on this subject. And while doing these i quickly learned that i could practice alternate picking as well.. i dont feel super duper at the minor pentatonic scales yet, so i am still practicing these scales.. i believe he also talks about the blues scales in the same theory lesson but i haven't even begun to consider this yet.. (even though it's only a couple of extra notes in each box). so i do specific lessons directed at teaching me the minor pentatonic scales.. and while doing so i get a lot better at alternate picking, legato, slides, bending etc. Not perfect yet though, but nothing a lot of practice wont fix.. when i feel comfortable enough with the minor pentatonic i will move on to the next theory lesson in Andrews list.. at some point i hit something i dont know anything about.. and then i will start searching for lessons regarding that topic and begin practicing it.. Im not even sure that this is the "proper" order to learn the stuff, but thats how i do it.. Good luck.. edit: here's the link to Andrews Where To Start This post has been edited by -Zion-: Jul 16 2008, 10:54 PM |

Good luck.. edit: here's the link to Andrews Where To Start That is a good point Great point, I suggest you should stick to the "if you want it done do it yourself" thing. You seem to have thought this out very well, and I think you'd be most satisfied if you made a lesson plan to your liking. The lesson plans aren't just for looking, everyone and anyone can make one, on practically any guitar topic, and we encourage you guys to do so. But my point is I am bouncing around with no direction or proper order of learning , and need guidance from someone more experienced in what to learn and in what order - not sure if anybody would want to learn my style. But the poster down below brought up a good roadmap - Following Andrew's Theory Lesson list order. I think it should also be posted in the Lesson Plan section since its more than just theory.

Well, I tried to cover most of the things regarding basic pentatonics in my pentatonic series and it worked. I could definitely try the same on modes, scales, chords etc if lot of people are interested in that.
