Today I’m going to share a technique that I use to help guitarists who can’t seem to get past playing pentatonic scales. You know there are different sounds. You can hear them. You want to play them. But, it always seems that you just keep going back to the pentatonic over and over again. This easy approach may be just what's needed to open up new ideas in your guitar playing! Also, I have some listener feedback. Show notes at: https://www.playguitaracademy.com/blog/016-trapped-in-the-pentatonic-box Copyright ©2018 Play Guitar Podcast
