How To Improvise Over a C Minor Metal Track | Major + Minor Pentatonic in Action

In this laid-back but info-packed lesson, I walk you through how I’d approach soloing over an aggressive C minor backing track—using both the minor and major pentatonic scales to create contrast, color, and momentum. 🎸🔥

This 24-minute session is part jam, part breakdown, and all about showing you how to apply the Pentatonic Way system in a real musical context.
