_ _ [F] What _ [G] _ _
must be done is you have to learn [E] to play the [D] pentatonic scale all over the neck
[E] of the guitar.
_ _ So if we're [D] in E, _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ it's still the same five notes.
It's still the [A#] pentatonic scale.
_ [A] It's still, you know, like, _ [N] _ _
_ _ just those five notes, but _ to be able to play them all over
the neck of the guitar is very liberating.
So, let's try fingering.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ And [C#] you'll see when I do [B] this, _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I use, I go about, I go about the fingerings _ kind of spontaneously.
_ _ I don't _ [D] have a set [E] way of playing them.
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
I could.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] You could work out a [A] fingering, but _ [G]
if you work out the fingering, then you're going
to be imprisoned by the fingering.
So the problem with the pentatonic scale isn't so much the scale. _
_ It's your approach to it.
So, you [E] really need to just kind of free [A] yourself up.
Just do it like [G] this.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Get your fingers open. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You know, sort of deliberately move to a different note _ without it being the [C#] way you've done it before.
_ _ So this is my [N] tip.
