Know your fretboard!
Our first step is to be able to play the Am Pentatonic all
over the fret board, with an understanding of where the additional notes are so
that we can use them at will.
So the fret board now looks like this:
Even though you can change scales to match the change of
chord it is better, if you want to set yourself up to be a good player learn, to sing the notes so
that when you change chord you know what you want to play rather than just
playing a new position. This will make a big difference.
By singing the melody you play, you will automatically be
phasing the solo, rather than running through your positions. You will be
making melodic statements that people will hear and notice. Practice by singing
the Pentatonic scale and then adding the additional notes. It does not matter if
you can sing or pitch the notes it’s the intention of pushing the notes into a
musical form that is important.
