Welcome to another Improvisation Bootcamp Lesson…

In this lesson we’re going to look at how to bust out of that first minor pentatonic scale shape we all use so much…by learning how to use ‘shape 4’ minor pentatonic.

This is an easy way to start covering a new area of the guitar neck when you play.

This video will show you:

• How to play the ‘shape 4’ minor pentatonic pattern
• What you need to know to be able to move this scale around into all keys (easier than you might think!)
• The best way to learn a scale pattern quickly (it really works!)
• Confused about when you can use this pattern in your solos? Let me sort out the confusion for you (so it doesn’t hold you up!)

Look for the follow up lesson next week for all sorts of great ideas for how to use it ( bends, double stops, triads and more) …to help you sound like a minor pentatonic master when you use this pattern!

Here’s what’s in this lesson:

• • 0:46 Here’s how you play the shape 4 minor pentatonic pattern in the key of E.
    The root note is on the A string in this pattern…very important to know this!

• • 2:36 Learn how to move this scale around the fretboard and use it to improvise in any key. For this you need to know the notes on the A string. Don’t worry if you don’t know them yet…we’re going to go through them here.

• • 5:03 Here’s a great tip for learning the scale pattern…fast!

• • 6:54 So which pattern should you use – shape 1 or shape 4?
    Here I answer this really common question I hear a lot about using different scale patterns…if you’re confused by this, let’s end it now.
