One scale. One position. Use what you already know! Don’t overcomplicate. Guitar Lesson – ML142

Description

The minor pentatonic scale is one of the first things most guitarists learn, but are you comfortable using it? In this lesson, we stay in one position and one scale to prove that you already have everything you need to play great lead guitar. We’ll cover safe target notes over a 1-4-5 jam track, fill patterns, and real licks you can use right away.
