Do you feel you’re stuck within the minor pentatonic?
You’re not alone.
First of all, let me make something perfectly clear – the minor pentatonic is an AWESOME scale!
The vast majority of blues and rock solos are based within the minor pentatonic so there’s no shame in playing a lot within this scale.
But if you want to be able to play in other scales too, or learned the minor pentatonic as an introduction to scales but never got any further – here’s something you can do.
If you know your minor pentatonic scale reasonably well, you can easily change it to a natural minor scale by adding 2 extra notes.
A 2 in between the 1 and 3b, and a 6b in between the 5 and 7b.
Most scales can be achieved by altering scales you already know. If you know at least one scale – you’re not far off from playing others.
