Creating Solos With The Major Pentatonic Scale
Learn how to mix the major and minor pentatonic scales to create more varied and interesting solos
COURSE OVERVIEW
Creating Solos With The Major Pentatonic Scale
The major pentatonic scale has a totally different sound compared to the minor pentatonic and minor blues scales.
As such, implementing the scale in your solos will help you to broaden your musical vocabulary whilst creating a different sound and feel in your playing.
It will give you access to a much broader range of sounds, and will help you to create more interesting and varied guitar solos.
It will also allow to create a warmer and more upbeat blues sound, in the style of guitarists like B.B. King, Duane Allman and Eric Clapton, amongst others.
So, if you feel comfortable with the minor pentatonic scale and want to move into different and more complex material, this is the course for you.

My story
I have played guitar for over 20 years and have loved blues music for almost just as long.
5 years ago – after getting complacent with my practice and playing – I decided I wanted to push on and develop as a guitarist.
I couldn’t find the detailed, blues focused resources that I wanted to learn from online, so I created the Happy Bluesman.
I have since gone on to work with hundreds of blues guitarists all over the world through the Blues Club and 1-2-1 coaching.
