Overview"what this lesson is about"

Pentatonic Power

In this video we’ll be taking a look at 5 different shapes of the Pentatonic scale in one key. A look at the notes you are playing and how they connect. You will be using this as the backbone for lead playing later on in this course. Also you can see the tab for the 5 shapes in the key of E Minor; remember use you knowledge of the chromatic order to play these shapes in any key you like.
