The Ultimate Guitar Pentatonic Scales Book (Volume One)

Learn how to form pentatonic sequences used by hundreds of famous artists such as Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Page, Slash, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai and many more.

This book series helps guitar players develop basic to more advanced playing concepts with the major and minor pentatonic scales that can be applied to improvisation or compositional playing, giving you the tools to create your own epic pentatonic sequences. Starting with basic guitar theory, you then move through to useful movable shapes, connecting chords and arpeggios and ways to sequence the 2NPS (two note per string) shapes vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

Beginner Players - if you are new to the pentatonic scale this is the perfect book for you! You do need to be able to play basic open chords, simple riffs and have some experience of playing simple lead parts to get the most from this book. However, there are links to beginner video masterclasses in the book (free) if you are stuck with anything such as reading tabs/diagrams, holding a pick, basic music theory...etc.

Intermediate Players - maybe you know a few pentatonic shapes and can play some licks but find yourself stuck in shape one of the pentatonic scales or play the same licks and want to break out of the boxes...this is the book for you! Or maybe you know all the five 2NPS pentatonic shapes for both the major and minor pentatonic scale but you want to understand the theory side of it, then this is the book for you!

Advanced Players - maybe you are a more advanced player who can quite easily play vertically, horizontally and diagonally with all five 2NPS shapes, understands how to connect arpeggios and chords to the five shapes, understands all the music theory behind creating scales, and can sequence the 2NPS shapes in over 35 different ways...then volume one is not the book for you! Check out the more advanced book volume two, this looks at lots of 3NPS pentatonic concepts and more advanced arpeggio ideas.

VOLUME ONE

The idea of volume one is that by the end of it you wonÕt just be playing up and down the five 2NPS pentatonic boxes aimlessly. You should have developed a musical purpose and understand the importance of knowing the intervals, where the root notes are and how to move around the guitar neck freely in any key you desire.
