5 WAYS to SPICE UP The Pentatonic Scale – NEVER a boring lick again!

In this video I’ll show you 5 ways to make your pentatonic scale solos stand out from the rest. Break away from the always the same sounding licks. We’re going to put some real spicy notes in this basic and straightforward scale. We going to look at the mixing major and minor, adding the blue note, the raised sixth and combining major and minor thirds. On top of that I’ll tell you about the magic of substitution. By substituting the basic pentatonic scale by other keys you find yourself being a divers solo guitarist in seconds with only those good old pentatonic scale patterns. There are lots of possibilities with this golden technique. This also gives us possibilities to play modes with simple pentatonic scales. Here you see examples of the Dorian Pentatonic Concept and the Lydian Pentatonic Concept. You will see licks very different styles.
