Welcome to my brand-new and hugest guitar tutorial ever! 🎸 In this video, I dive deep into the pentatonic scale, specifically the minor pentatonic scale and its guitar scale shapes. I’ll cover a bit of theory to open your eyes, applications, and practical tips & tricks for all levels. This scale is one of the most commonly used in Western music. The minor pentatonic scale is likely one of the first scales you’ll encounter in guitar lesson books. Many guitarists, including myself, discover it intuitively because it’s so logically structured and free of dissonant notes.

In this comprehensive guitar tutorial on the minor pentatonic scale, I won’t just cover how to use it. The focus lies especially on the universal guitar scale shapes, and how only one of them is already sufficient to make use of numerous options. I’ll show you various fingerings you can use to play this scale and also demonstrate how you can use these same fingerings to play the major pentatonic scale without having to learn new shapes.

I’ll also show you how to easily expand these scales into the blues scale, which works in both major and minor. Additionally, I’ll discuss the limitations of these scales. For example, you can use the minor pentatonic scale over all minor modes in the Ionian system because the specific notes of these modes are not included, so you can’t hit a wrong note. The same applies to the major pentatonic scale. However, the downside is that you’ll never get the specific sound of a particular mode if that’s what you’re aiming for.

But don’t worry, I’ll also share some tricks on how to play certain modes with these minor pentatonic shapes and achieve the authentic mode sound. Again, without having to learn new fingerings! 😉

Thanks for watching, and happy playing! 🎶

Best,
Benjamin
