#149 BEST Pentatonic Scale Trick | How to STOP Playing the Same Old Licks!

Time for the final wishlist topic from January! Today I'd like to show you how to come up with amazingly creative pentatonic scale licks :) This video also features our awesome VIP club shred collab, thanks so much for all the killer contributions! Make sure to join us in the next one in case you missed the chance!

The extended shapes from this lesson will help you with creating amazing and unique sounding pentatonic licks. I also created 3 examples for you to demonstrate how you could work with them. Make sure to download your files below, I also made some MIDI backing tracks for you to get used to the scales/patterns: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8lb3mls5xntn8fm/AABdCumnxH0w4Y6iGWuejT9Ya?dl=0

Have fun shredding my friends :) Next week we finally dive into the new wishlist topics and I'm already working on some awesome video play-alongs for you!

That is a tough stretch at 3rd fret

Great job on the collab guys! Very inspiring!

Bernth... this helped me a lot. I’m significantly disabled now and basically really learning everything all over again in my 40’s, but with a lot of physical challenges. This really helped me aim at an obtainable goal that was realistic under my current circumstances. It will help me overcome physical, and cognitive challenges in the years ahead. I’m very grateful.

Wow they are a stretch, you seem to do it with ease.

Awesome lesson! Bernth is the man!

Also, what is the best approach for extended-intervalscalar runs like this? If one is not used to playing as such, are there any warmup or even build up exercises? I ask because I have heard of players incurring injury when going from zero to 100 vis-a-vis playing large intervals.

Excellent content, Bernth. How do you pick this iteration of the minor pentatonic? Meaning, what pick angle or slant are you using while ascending and descending? For example: while ascending are you solely angling the pick downward or upwards or a combo? And if a combo, which angle do you begin with and when do you alternate? Thank so much for your great work and informative lessons.

Haha blowing the minds of Prog rockers everywhere
