Pentatonic Scale Legato Workout

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Scales & Tales with a Pentatonic Scale Legato Workout that will improve your fretboard awareness, legato technique, and frethand dexterity/strength at the same time - so let's dive in!

This lesson revolves around a legato workout I've had for a while that centers around the ever-popular pentatonic scale. This idea begins with the common "box" fingering in a high fretboard position, and then it gradually moves down the neck and works the individual positions along the way, until you've finally reached the scale fingering/position that you started with, only it's one octave lower by the end of the entire cycle of the workout.

This is a great technique-boosting concept, as it challenges your frethand strength, fingering dexterity, and coordination, while also challenging your knowledge/awareness of the five positions of the pentatonic scale across the fretboard. This type of "double-edged" workout is great, as you're working on your performance technique and skill, while also working on your knowledge of the fretboard and scale positions at the same time.
