Make my Pentatonic scales actually useful – Phil Roberts
You’ve been playing some time but never really learnt how to use scales
So far you’ve seen a lot of scale diagrams to practice soloing over backing tracks, but you feel like a mess as you have no idea how you’re supposed to go about memorizing all of the shapes, and you’re missing the vital background knowledge about how and when to apply them.
“I just can’t get my head around the concept of scalesâ€
You might know minor pentatonic scale shape 1 but this is the first and only scale you know, and you’re lost when it comes expanding this knowledge into other scales (like the Major Pentatonic) and other scale shapes. Its so frustrating, like your missing a piece of the puzzle. Why do scales seem so abstract and separate?
1 pentatonic is not enough to get you to where you need to go
It’s not that you haven’t tried to learn and memorize the other pentatonic shapes, but you’re struggling because you don’t quite understand how you should be using them or how to work them into your current playing. It sems like every other guitar player around is is getting it, why aren’t you?
