Pentatonic Power

Classic blues and rock minor pentatonic licks in G and B, with bends, double stops and jam tracks, plus minor and major riffs in A.

What you will be able to play

• Play all five positions of A minor pentatonic and move them to G and B.
• Bend the G string a whole step in tune to match notes on the B string, as single bends and double stops.
• Play G minor pentatonic double-stop licks with a half-step slide and the borrowed major 6th.
• Play a step-and-a-half bend on the high E and a blues run in G minor.
• Play Texas-style B minor licks with string skips, rakes and alternating whole and half bends.
• Play a blues-scale lick that returns to the root in three octaves of B.
• Solo over G minor and B jam tracks by linking licks with space between them.
• Make up short A minor pentatonic riffs over a rock progression and resolve them to A or C.

Is it for you?

Upper-beginner and intermediate electric players who know at least one minor pentatonic box and can bend a string roughly in tune, and who want ready-to-use blues and rock licks instead of scale runs. The first lesson gives you all five positions, so one box is enough to start. Good if you can play the scale but your solos sound like exercises. Not for complete beginners: there is no chord or rhythm instruction, and the bends, including a step-and-a-half bend, need some finger strength.
