    Here's where I introduce myself & set out the content of the course: what you'll learn & what the goals of the course are.

Requirements

  • You should have some (minimal) experience of playing lead guitar
  • You should be comfortable with basic lead guitar techniques: hammer-ons, bends, pull-offs etc
  • You should know the notes on the low E string (5th fret = A; 7th fret = B; 3rd fret = G etc)

Description

This course is aimed at the intermediate lead guitarist who has some knowledge of the pentatonic scale, but feels limited to a couple of shapes & can't break out of their comfort zone licks. You will learn the pentatonic scale from the gound up: how the 5 different patterns originated & how they fit together. You will also learn...

  • How the pentatonic scale relates to chords you're playing over

  • How to determine the correct scale to use over ANY chord sequence

  • How to use the pentatonic scale to play blues

  • How to move fluently between the 5 pentatonic patterns

  • How to use the pentatonic scale to play over chord changes

  • How to use the (in)famous CAGED system

  • How combining pentatonic scales can introduce you to the world of modes

All of this is demonstrated via example solos shown in close up & tabbed out in PDF & Guitar Pro formats, so there are dozens of licks to learn. Also, you get a bunch of jam tracks to experiment over.

By the end of this course you will RULE the neck!

Who this course is for:

  • Intermediate lead guitar players
  • People looking to expand their knowledge beyond basic lead guitar
