YL25 – Master The Pentatonic Boxes!

Here is a very POWERFUL approach to mastering a scale. I am saying this from the perspective of a teacher who has seen many students struggling with really knowing the scale all over the neck.

I to need make it clear – it’s really important to be able to travel up and down a scale in several ways – both vertically and horizontally. What we will do today is to use an approach to memorize this scale horizontally. We’re going to play two ideas, call them licks if you want, and we are using the SAME idea, for each of these “pentatonic boxes”. What this will lead to is a deeper connection between these pentatonic boxes and lick ideas. You should continue working on other lick ideas, using this same approach. Eventually, you will start to see the scale as one big pattern on the fretboard.
