Hello friends,

welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session I've broken down a lead guitar trick that was really a game changer for me, the basic concept is simple; there are five major pentatonic scale boxes on the fretboard, each of these boxes when brought up three semi-tones becomes minor. In this lesson, we'll apply this concept to three useful pentatonic patterns. Let's get started!

This is super helpful, really clear instructions and giving me a deeper understanding.

I am a very devoted player at this stage in my life. I'll be 65 in May. I started playing 2.5 years ago. I practice 2-3 hours, never missing a single day. I never played before that... I'm pleased with my progress in learning to read music and tab. What's not so clear is how to understand exactly what, for example, FMaj7 means. I can learn to play with my hands in the right spot, but I want to understand chord structure and why it's important. Why is it called Am7? I think that will help me unlock great amounts of understanding. I'm very committed to your site. Thanks for your hard work. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hey John, here's a quick run down on chord harmonies: chords are built using the notes in and around the major scale. A basic major chord is constructed by playing the 1st, 3rd and 5th tones of the scale in harmony. Add the 7th tone of that scale and you have a maj7 chord. Minor chords are built by harmonizing the 1st, flatted 3rd and 5th notes of the scale, this is an example of how notes of the major scale can be flatted or sharped to create more interesting or exotic sounds. Here's a video on the subject: https://youtu.be/nMJuBBvj6kk

Is the GP guitar tab program? Or 3gpvideo? I opened it with tux guitar. Thanks ... I watched your Swing Low Sweet Chariot lesson is it possible to do a bluesy version of Amazing Grace?

Great lesson on lead guitar.

Hey Phil, I love Amazing Grace too, I'll definitely consider it. Yes, GP files belong to Guitar Pro 7, which is an amazing program!

Thanks I enjoy your lessons and plan to stay onboard. I'm on a fixed income, hopefully I will be able to step up my Pateron membership soon .. I know it takes time and effort to put this all together... Thanks again.

Hi Rob, this is a superb lesson. Do you have some soloing examples where it is possible to see how this concept can be applied efficiently...?

Another great lesson Rob. How do you transpose this to the key of E ?

Rob, it would be REALLY helpful if you slowed down and explained each riff for us newbies. I always have trouble going from the scales to the riffs you play.
