This lesson covers a 3-note-per-string run, this time moving through all 5 shapes of the Minor Pentatonic scale. Playing 3 notes per string like this helps us to break out of sticking to a single shape and move into the next shape.

Key points

• Slides help us to shift positions quickly and smoothly
• The Unison Bend at the end gives the run a great rock feel
