Day 11 - A minor pentatonic lead line w/ 5 notes!

Learn a lead line to go over the A minor jam track from yesterday’s lesson. 

The A minor pentatonic is perfect for this set of chords in the track and essentially the pentatonic has five notes which we can target for melodies & riffs which land almost central on the guitar fretboard from fret 5 to 8. 

Target notes in A minor pentatonic

We can play the scale in full from string 6 to 1 but actually we tend to sit in the middle of the scale for melodies & riffs, like in today’s lesson.

Jumping between 1st & 3rd finger right in the middle of the pentatonic scale is a very useful & common technique.

• Fret 7 on string 4 is an A note & an important target note

• Fret 5 to Fret 7 is the jump between 1st & 3rd finger

• Same frets again just a string below 

These will stand you in good stead for this lesson!
