One Pentatonic Pattern Does it All

An Update to this lesson is available: https://store.metalmethod.com/p/major... This is a single Pentatonic pattern that takes the place of five. Regardless of the root note's location, you can instantly create the perfect pattern on the spot. There's no need to memorize five patterns to master the fretboard, one is enough. Instructor Doug Marks believes this might be the best guitar lesson he's ever created. That's saying a lot considering he's taught millions to play guitar since 1982. This lesson will change your understanding of the guitar fretboard. LESSON CORRECTION: The titles below the fretboards that are labeled, "B String Tuned to Major 3rd" are incorrect. They should say, "2nd String is Tuned to the 5th fret of the 3rd String." This means the 2nd string is tuned to a 4th interval, the same as all the other strings. The second string is tuned a half-step sharp of standard tuning. Complete Guitar Course: https://store.metalmethod.com/p/compl...
