In this video

In this lesson we're looking at a Minor Pentatonic scale run that connects Shape 1 with the next instance of Shape 1 an octave higher. This time we're starting on string 6 and moving through all 5 Minor Pentatonic shapes.

Key points

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