Lead Guitar Practice Summary #3

Lead Guitar Practice Summary #3 video:

I focused my lead guitar practice this week on major pentatonic scales. Pentatonic scales are five-note scales that were created based on them naturally occurring in music. The notes in the pentatonic scale of a particular key signature are useful to get accustomed to because they can be a musician’s basis for soloing. They are the most commonly used scales in rock music solos. Therefore, I think it will be really useful for me to practice and memorize these scales.

In my practice this week, I learned the pentatonic scales in the following keys (and memorized them): E, F, G, A, B, C, and D. Once I memorized the basic pattern for one, it was fairly easy to memorize the other scales because they all consist of the same finger pattern, simply starting on a different note. The video above shows my progress on these scales.
