Scales & Tales - The Pentatonic Highway

Here's the next episode of Scales & Tales with The Pentatonic Highway.
This episode focuses on a very common pentatonic-based fretboard path (or pattern) that countless legends and giants of the guitar have utilized in their soloing and career. This includes complete legends such as Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Michael Schenker, and many more.

Once you begin weaving between and connecting different pentatonic positions like this, you can start shifting and sliding around the fretboard and combine positions and different octaves with ease. As I mentioned earlier, this is a very common concept in rock, blues, jazz, metal, and various other styles, so once you start refining this fretboard strategy, you'll begin noticing some movements and shifting on the fretboard that some of your favorite players probably use.

Needless to say, this is an important part of learning more about the fretboard and pentatonic scales in general, so aside from the demonstrations of connecting and navigating the neck, this lesson also features plenty of useful licks, phrases, and variations of these ideas to help you see how you can create some new ideas of your own design and begin adding this type of playing to your music and playing style.
