Lead Guitar Tactics

Archive for the ‘Pentatonic Scale’ Category

Is anything more of a mystery than how to use the entire length of the fretboard? I used to watch other guitarists fly up and down the neck and think…”How do they do that?”

I will say that a big part of playing up and down the neck is how well you know the individual scale fingerings. Then it is just a matter of connecting them.

In this lesson I will address how to connect two fingerings of the pentatonic scale utilizing what I call the “common finger technique.”

I know that many of you are looking for a few guitar improvising tips. I will get to that in a moment but first I would like to make a couple of points.

1. Mastering lead guitar is an ongoing process. It takes steady daily practice to make it happen. There are no amazing lead guitar secrets to instantly transform you into some sort of guitar hero.

2. You don’t have to be some amazing technical wizard to a nice sounding pentatonic scale based solo. In fact, the video in this lesson is a minor pentatonic solo. And it only uses 4 notes!

Watch the video and then apply what you have learned immediately. I have provided the tab and a backing track as well
