How to use Pentatonic Scales. Guitar Solo Example and Explanation.

In this video I explain how to use Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales.

Specifically, we look at mixing and matching the two scales over a Major Chord Progression.

I also talk about how you should be trying to think about playing over chords instead of playing patterns.

I show you a few ways of outlining the chord changes to lead the listeners ear through the changes.

We use the Major and Minor 3rd as a pivot point so we can switch between major and minor pentatonic scales. I use triads and target the root notes of the chords. Finally I also use the Mixolydian mode and Diminished arpeggios in this example.
