This lesson is about the E Minor Pentatonic scale, first position (or Box 1, as it is sometimes referred to). This lesson is both basic and advanced, because I teach you the notes nice and slow. However, you will learn a an exercise where you take these 5 notes and create 2 slightly different patterns.
When played fast, as I do in this video, this exercise sounds really cool and impressive. However, speed is not the end goal, but the ability to make your fingers do parts of this pattern at any time, so that you create good licks and phrases from having practiced this exercise.
Check out this scale patterns course as well, I think you will find it very helpful.
So there you go, whether you are a beginner or and intermediate/advanced, I think you will find this lesson valuable.

I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.
There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.
Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose.
