Pentatonic Pathways (Coming Soon)

If you're ready to get more color, spice, and harmonic depth out of the pentatonic shapes you already know, Jon Finn’s online video guitar lessons in this pentatonic-focused course are exactly where you need to be.

"Most guitar players already know their major and minor pentatonic shapes. The issue isn’t knowledge, it’s application."

This step-by-step guitar course takes a systematic approach to unlocking richer sounds from familiar pentatonic patterns. Instead of memorizing brand-new scale systems, you’ll learn how to reposition and reinterpret the major and minor pentatonic shapes you already play so they create more sophisticated melodic and harmonic meaning.

You’ll start by applying major and minor pentatonic shapes over major and minor chords, learning how building from different scale degrees within the parent key changes the color and implied harmony. From there, Jon expands the concept into dominant chord applications, showing you how small alterations — like adding a raised third, flat five, minor sixth, or flat one — can open the door to deeper modal tension and more expressive soloing options.

You’ll bring these concepts into real-world musical situations, applying them across chord progressions in multiple keys. Each lesson is paired with purpose-built backing tracks so you can hear, feel, and internalize every sound in context.

Practice and play with your instructor through the entire course at your own pace using TrueFire's intuitive playalongs, backing tracks, and learning tools. All of the demonstrations are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video, with controls for looping, slow motion, and fretboard animation.

This isn’t about memorizing new patterns. It’s about unlocking new meaning from the ones you already know.
