Pentatonics overivew
Now that you’ve got the basic technique down, let’s start learning some scales so we can rip sweet solos and play beautiful melodies! What better place to start than the pentatonic scales?
Constructing basic chords
So you’re feeling pretty good about your pentatonic scales and maybe you want to start learning some chords so you can play in a band or accompany yourself. Let’s take a look at the basic chord shapes that you’ll find all around the neck!
