@guylancefieldguitar: Save this if you’re busy: If you’re learning the G minor pentatonic scale and want to connect your pentatonic shapes across the guitar fretboard, this is a really useful way to practise it. Try ascending through the G minor pentatonic scale using just the B string and high E string. This helps you see how the different minor pentatonic shapes connect instead of thinking of each position as a completely separate box. It’s a simple guitar fretboard exercise, but it can make a big difference to your lead guitar playing. If you already know the five minor pentatonic shapes but still feel stuck playing in one position, practising across the B and E strings can help you understand how those shapes join together up the neck. As you move through the scale, pay attention to which pentatonic shape you’re moving through and where it connects into the next one. The aim isn’t to stop using pentatonic boxes. They’re useful for visualising the fretboard. The aim is to understand how the shapes overlap so you can move between them more naturally when improvising and playing guitar solos. Practise this slowly at first, then try using the same route while improvising in G minor. It’s a great exercise for learning the G minor pentatonic scale, connecting pentatonic positions, improving fretboard knowledge and getting more comfortable moving around the neck when soloing.
