The minor pentatonic scale is the most crucial in a guitarist's arsenal, but all too often we learn a box pattern or two and leave it at that, limiting ourselves to cliched licks and run of the mill phrasing. This book, with information presented in a clear, simple and logical manner, sets the aspiring lead guitarist free from tedious and unwieldy box patterns and helps you unleash your potential all over the fretboard! The major scale is the root of all theory and harmony, but many guitarists are intimidated by the jargon that surrounds the scale and its associated modes. In Pt. 2 of this book, the major scale is deconstructed and demystified and the modes of the major scale unlocked. Your playing will never be the same after you've absorbed the rhythm and lead patterns this book contains! Take the step and revolutionise your playing today!
