Udemy Starting Lead Guitar The Pentatonic Scales [TUTORiAL]

In this section of the course we carry on from the Todd Robinson "Starting Lead Guitar - The Basics course" moving into the scales, expressive playing techniques and fretboard knowledge you will need to play great lead guitar solos and improvisations.

This course focuses on pentatonic scales as the foundation of lead guitar playing.

You will learn how to:

• Play all five shapes of the minor pentatonic scale cleanly across the neck
• Understand how pentatonic scales connect horizontally and vertically
• Use minor and major triads inside pentatonic shapes as strong target notes
• Develop melodic phrasing instead of running scale patterns
• Apply rhythmic control using beat divisions and structured practice routines
• Use 2-string and 3-string pentatonic boxes to simplify lead lines
• Add expression through bends, vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and string skipping
• Create flowing single-string and simple tapping ideas
• Understand the difference between minor and major pentatonics and when to use each
• Build confidence improvising lead guitar solos over backing tracks

This course is designed to turn pentatonic scales from memorised shapes into musical tools you can actually use in real solos.

If you are sick of watching random guitar videos that go nowhere with no structure or learning outcomes and always find yourself without any idea of what you are actually playing this course is for you.
