In today's new lesson, I'm excited to tackle a much-asked-about topic that's been a game changer for my playing in the past year: diagonal pentatonics.

This is an informal name I’m using for a particular way to play any pentatonic scale (major or minor), which allows us to play multiple octaves in an incredibly smooth & fluid manner.

Why this approach is worth learning, compared to memorizing the five "box" shapes normally used with pentatonic scales:

1️⃣ Uses fewer fingers (easier to play)​
2️⃣ Uses fewer "shapes" (easier to remember)​
3️⃣ Spans multiple octaves (more possibilities)​
4️⃣ Uses slides between some notes (sounds better)

Lastly — I find they're far more fun to play! Check out my video lesson and see for yourself. Here's what I tackle:
