In this video

In this lesson we focus on flick-offs with a descending run across positions 1 and 2 of the A minor pentatonic. The pattern is essentially the reverse of the pattern used in Lesson 3.

Lesson aims

  1. Focus on the anchor technique with your first finger
  2. Pay attention to which notes to pick, and which notes to flick, hammer or slide

A minor pentatonic - positions 1 and 2

Blue = position 1, Green = position 2

Exercise 5 - Minor pentatonic runs with flick-offs
