Have you reached a plateau in your blues, rock, or jazz guitar soloing? Do you feel like you’ve been repeating the same pentatonic box patterns for years, with the same old blues licks that have been around for nearly a century? The Encyclopedia of Pentatonic Scales for Guitar will take your playing to a new level, expanding your knowledge of the fretboard and your understanding of pentatonic scales to bring new licks, phrases, and colorations to your improv skill set.
Twenty-two completely different pentatonic scales drawn from the major, melodic minor, harmonic major, and symmetrical diminished scales are included as conventional box patterns and 3-octave fretboard diagrams. Four short melodic phrases are provided in standard notation and tablature to facilitate the application of each scale to its respective chords. Fast and slow online video demonstrations of each phrase are included to help you understand their fingerings, the nature of their sound, and their melodic improvising potential.
