Chapter 2: The Pentatonic Scale Chapter 2 of Fretboard Theory, which is also available for purchase on DVD, not only teaches you everything for getting started with the Pentatonic Scale, but includes additional insight most veteran Pentatonic players are missing out on. Rhythm Guitar The purpose of learning how to apply the pentatonic scale, or any scale for that matter, isn’t solely for playing guitar riffs and solos. Even if you’re strictly a rhythm player you can make good use of occasional scale phrases. You can even add pentatonic notes to old chords and create rich new sounds. Compose On Your Guitar There’s one more thing about applying the pentatonic scale you should take into consideration. The pentatonic scale isn’t a scale unique to only guitar and bass players. All instruments utilize the pentatonic scale including voices. Many songs have pentatonic scale vocal melodies, keyboard parts, horn parts and more. These things can be worked out and arranged on your guitar if you know your scales. This file is my own work and represents my interpretation of the songs.
