Pentatonic Mastery
Live Guitar Course: Live Course: Pentatonic Mastery
Memorizing the pentatonic scale, and learning how to use it in a fluid and musical manor are two completely different skills. Most courses focus just on teaching you the positions and then leave you to your own devices. Not this one! The focus is all about how to use the scale across the entire fretboard in a musical and practical way. Truly understanding the pentatonic scale will open up unlimited musical possibilities.
