Jazz Standard with Pentatonic Scales - Satin Doll - Jazz Guitar Lesson

All guitarists learn the pentatonic scale, and it is a more versatile tool than most realize. We can in fact play entire jazz standards using it. In this Guitar Lesson I am going to take the progression from Satin Doll and first show you how to play the jazz chords and then go over how you can use pentatonic scales to improvise over it.

At the end of the video I talk a bit about how you use the pentatonic scales so that you still emphasize the changing chords and really follow the progression.
