Pentatonics Unboxed

The minor pentatonic is the most widely recognised and used scale shape on the electric guitar.  It is used by players all over the world to create great sounding and instantly recognisable guitar solos and riffs.  This lesson package is designed to take advantage of this already well established and understood scale, and apply some new theory and visualisation techniques in order to allow the player to take what is already familiar, and create modern, contemporary sounding guitar lines. Aimed primarily at beginner/intermediate students, the package gives you access to HD videos and a ten page .PDF document that takes the player from basic scale knowledge; including modern labelling techniques such as note names and intervalic structures, through to exercises and techniques that will allow the understanding and visualisation of the minor pentatonic scale in a more unique, contemporary way. As well as this you will also recieve a series of HD videos demonstrating ten licks that I have created using this new technique.  They are played over an original backing track, then slowed down and demonstrated for you note by note in order to allow you to see how this technique can be implemented successfully, and to inspire you to be creative!  Two versions of the original backing track are also included in this package, a version played at it's full tempo and then a second, slower version in order for you to practise this new technique over until you're ready to tackle it at a quicker pace. Additional .PDF files are also included as support material to help you learn and absorb the information in the videos. These include full tablature charts for the ten licks provided, along with scale and diagram boxes that detail interval names and locations, key to understanding this new visualisation process. Taking advantage of online tuition in this manner will allow you to learn months worth of material at your own pace and in your own home.  Enjoy, and good luck in your playing.
