Let's study a melodic piece using only pentatonic scales. The main goal is to learn how to build melodic ideas when modulating from one key to another: E Major and E minor.

Let me explain the methods I like to use to squeeze the juice out of the pentatonic scale!

Use the pentatonic scale for outside playing to create tension!

How to use the Major Pentatonic as a substitute for the exotic Phrygian Dominant Mode.

Interesting approach how various pentatonic scales can be used over different chord progression. This one is called "up a 5th principle"

Mix a few pentatonic scales together and create a interesting improvisation with feel and shred.

With a little bit off stretching it is possible to re-use all the classic 3 note per string shapes and get a completely different sound, by using the pentatonic scale!

Pentatonics 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?

A lesson that everybody can play. Thumb technique and rasgueados.
