In this video
In lesson 2 we're going to look at Shape 2 of the E Minor Pentatonic scale. This starts from the second note of Shape 1, and as with the A Minor Pentatonic shapes it's a good idea to start from the root note of Shape 1 to keep the feel of the correct scale.
Key points
- Pay attention to your fingering - it's good to position your fingers ready to do bends at the top end of this shape
- When playing the faster part of the exercise, make sure you are playing evenly between clicks
