Hi Everyone,

We're in the home stretch with this second-to-last installment of CAGED Basics II.

In this lesson we're exploring the relationship between the D shape and E shape pentatonic scales with a Fix or Foreshadow exercise followed by a practice tune.

Download the PDF (attached below) and use these practice tracks for the tune.

Play along tracks:
75 BPM
85 BPM
95 BPM
104 BPM

Please note: you don't NEED to play the tune perfectly at 104BPM to move on. 85 or 95 BPM is an acceptable goal. It's more about getting the concept and having a clear sense of how you can use these skills in your own writing and practice.

If you'd like to post questions, eureka moments, or your performance of the practice tune, please post to the community forum.

Thanks for this Scott. It looks like there is a type-o on the practice clip. The melody resolves on an E on the G string but I think this is out of key. It should resolve on the D on the G string unless I am mistaken.
