How To Connect The 5 Pentatonic Shapes
Move freely across your fretboard and connect scale shapes in a smooth and musical way
COURSE OVERVIEW
How To Connect The 5 Pentatonic Shapes
In my opinion, learning how to connect the 5 pentatonic shapes across your fretboard is one of the best ways to improve your lead guitar playing.
It will help you to improvise freely, to create interesting blues guitar solos and to navigate comfortably across the entire neck of your guitar.
Learning the connections between the 5 pentatonic shapes will allow you to break out of patterns and areas of your fretboard where you feel stuck.
In turn this will reduce the likelihood of your solos sounding repetitive and potentially uninteresting.
So if you feel confident playing the shapes of the minor pentatonic scale, but you don’t yet feel so confident using them in a practical context, then the information laid out in this course will do a lot to improve your confidence.
With that in mind, let’s get into it!
What you will learn:
PART 1
Here we will cover why at first it is so difficult for guitarists to create smooth and flowing improvisations. We will outline how the information contained in the course will empower you to tackle this challenge head on
PART 2
To begin with we will look at initial connection that you can target when looking at the 5 shapes of the minor pentatonic scale
PART 3
In this lesson we will look at how you can play the pentatonic scales laterally across the fretboard and use these connections to navigate between scale shapes
PART 4
Now we will get focused and look at single points of connection that you can target between the first and second shapes of the minor pentatonic scale
PART 5
Moving on, we will look at how the second and third pentatonic shapes connect and how you can move between them in a smooth and musical way
PART 6
We will continue with the same framework in this lesson, and also look back at how to connect each of the 4 scale shapes that we have covered so far
PART 7
Here you will learn how to connect the fourth and fifth shapes of the minor pentatonic scale, and how you can use the framework covered throughout to navigate across all 5 shapes
PART 8
To finish up our connections, we will look at how the fifth shape connects back to the first, and also recap the various connections we have covered up to this point
PART 9
Now that you know how to connect the 5 shapes of the minor pentatonic scale, we will look at how you can extend this idea to different strings to create even more points of connection
PART 10
To finish up, we will look at all of the concepts covered in this course and how you can practice and implement them effectively in your playing

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.
