Let’s wrap up our look at the minor pentatonic scale by looking at some of the “between” notes, especially the b5 note that lies between the p4 and p5 (known as the “blue” note).

Let’s continue our discussion about the frying pan shape. Things become even more fun when you realize the same shape exists all over the fretboard.

This post discusses The Frying Pan, which I consider to be the ideal first scale shape for a beginner to study when learning how to solo.

What better topic for the first post on my new guitar site?

Almost everyone who’s ever picked up a guitar knows good ole “box 1” of the Am pentatonic scale. What could possibly be wrong with that as a starting point?
