Pentatonics: 4-Note Groupings

This system will go through all positions of the CAGED system in every key in 4-note groupings. This will develop speed in the right hand. Players like Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and B.B. King have made careers of being masters of this scale. Being able to play this in 4-note groupings is very important. Focus on playing as fast and as cleanly as you can. The pentatonic scale is by far the most used scale on guitar, and in general in music. Once you finish System 3 you will have mastery of the pentatonic scale. (You’ll need to learn to use it musically by learning phrasing, bending and melodies. But at the close of these 12 weeks you will feel very confident knowing all positions of the pentatonic scale and you will be able to physically play them from muscle memory.)
