The pentatonic scale provides the foundation for so many guitar styles that it’s easy to take the humble five note scale for granted. And it can also be a challenge to create interesting and innovative solos with the basic blues scale. But there are some really easy ways of spicing up your pentatonic solos and, yes, making them sexy!
In this short electric guitar lesson, Elixir Strings artist Cameron Cooper shows you how to add just a couple of notes to the blues scale that can really take it out of the ordinary – players like Zakk Wylde and George Lynch are masters of this kind of approach. Cameron plays Elixir OPTIWEB Coated Electric Strings gauges 9-42 and 10-46 because of their tuning stability and long lasting tone. Check them out: https://www.elixirstrings.com/products
Once you’ve got the notes down, Cameron gives you some tips on phrasing and how to incorporate your new-found knowledge to come up with your most powerful pentatonic playing yet.
