This Stupid Trick Finally Connected My Pentatonic Box Across The Whole Neck!

Most guitar players learn box one of the minor pentatonic scale and then get stuck playing it in the same place forever. In this 3 part lesson I’ll show you a sneaky way to get more mileage out of box one by using octave shapes from CAGED. Instead of trying to learn a load of brand new scale patterns, we’re going to take a small piece of the minor pentatonic scale and move it around the neck using octave shapes. You’ll see how the same pattern can help you find the minor pentatonic in different positions, and how that same shape also gives you a way into the major pentatonic. This is one of those ideas that helps you stop seeing the fretboard as separate boxes and start seeing how everything joins together. In this lesson we cover: Box one minor pentatonic The minor third and major second pattern inside the scale The small trapezoid and rectangle shape How CAGED octave shapes work How to move the pentatonic shape into new positions The G to B string compensation The link between minor pentatonic and major pentatonic How to get more out of what you already know Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:18 Box One Minor Pentatonic Explained 2:36 Why One Position Limits Your Solos 3:15 Octaves: The Secret Bookends 4:33 Minor Pentatonic = Major Pentatonic In Disguise 5:37 The 5 CAGED Octave Shapes 10:36 Linking All Positions Across The Neck 12:15 THE SNEAKY TRICK! 12:56 The G to B String Fix (Don't Skip This) Grab your guitar and try this SLOWLY. Take your time! The trick is not speed. The trick is seeing where the octave is, then dropping the pentatonic shape around it. #rickysguitar #guitarscales #pentatonicscale #cagedsystem
