Hello friends,

Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another beginner-intermediate level lead guitar tutorial. Major and minor pentatonic scales have a well-deserved reputation for being versatile. These five tone patterns have the ability to transcend genres, providing a palette with which we can create simple, yet captivating melodic ideas. While no one can question the usefulness of pentatonics, they do have their limitations, especially when it comes to soloing over more exotic chord progressions. So, in this tutorial I'll reveal the situations where pentatonic scales just won't cut it, and how you can alter the scale to fit problematic chord changes. Let's get started!

Note: Backing tracks have now been added in three keys! Check back in a few days for a follow up lesson on how to transpose these techniques! -Rob

Pro-Tip:
