Introduction
Tony Martinez introduces us to "Turning Pentatonics Into Music"!
Roots!
Tony dives into this first lesson with the fundamentals on why root notes are most important notes no matter what key you are playing in.
We Know Where the Root is, Let's Use It!
Now that we have the roots underneath our fingers, let's practice resolving any lick we come across to the root.
The Details Make the Difference
It's all about the details! In this lesson, Tony breaks down how some ideas like micro bends and vibrato can change the tone of a musical piece, similar to the idea of how we have different inflections in our voice to convey different emotions.
Still Sounds Like the Scale?
Now that we have a handful of ideas on how to make the pentatonic scale unique, Tony demonstrates how we need to then implement intervalic ideas, in order to begin to make our pentatonic scale sound more like a musical piece.
More Intervalic Fun
Let's build on the idea from the previous lesson, instead of jumping to the root every time Tony demonstrates other licks that we can resolve from.
Are You Too Vertical?
Let's explore our fretboard a little more horizontally by moving our licks up and down the neck.

Tony Martinez Turning Pentatonics Into Melody
Tony is an outstanding educator and he took complex themes, simplified and presented them in way intermediates could advance and take it up a notch. I look forward to repeating this course a number of times, lifting some licks l look also to some of his other work with TrueFire/JamPlay.
