The Basic Pentatonic Scale in Am
The minor pentatonic scale is hands down my favorite scale of all time, and that's because from beginners to pros it is the very first building block to creating beautiful solos.
Pentatonic Target Notes for Soloing
The first thing to think about when we use the pentatonic to start soloing is the use of target notes. In this lessons we'll focus root notes and their importance within each scale box.
First Position A Minor Jam
In this next series of lessons I'm going to demonstrate a solo for you using some of the basics we went over previously. The track is around 111 bpm and the chords we're going to be playing over are all in Am.

Great Teacher!
As a self taught guitarist I don’t really know the words and lingo, but this class is totally teaching me how to speak guitar. I really like being able to express myself better.
