Connecting Pentatonics with CAGED shapes, Intervals and Arpeggios

In this final lesson on pentatonics, we'll look at how we can connect the pentatonic to the CAGED shapes and intervals all over the neck. We will then bring this all together by looking at how we can play an arpeggio using each chord shape, which in many ways is the ultimate way to link all these concepts together!

See below the interactive tab for a C major 7 chord arpeggio in each of the CAGED shapes, which is the C major triad with the major 7th interval added.

Recommended solo to learn!

My number 1 recommended solo to learn that puts all the concepts of pentatonic shapes, arpeggios and intervals all in one is Hound Dog by Elvis, played by one of the pioneers of rock n Roll guitar - Scotty Moore!
