Today we are going to learn how to play the 5th shape in the pentatonic and we are going to incorporate another ornamentation, the slide. The slide is one of the easier ornamentations to do, but there are variations that you should be aware of, some more difficult than others.   

For the tutorial we will walk you through the shape and break down each note, introduce the flat 5th and then walk through some licks. The licks vary in difficulty, find the one where you feel like you aren't overwhelmed but still challenged and spend some time getting it down just right!

Will improve

  • Shape 5 of the minor pentatonic scale
  • Shape 5 of the blues scale
  • Blues in G
  • Slides
  • Hammer ons
  • Pull offs
  • Bends 
  • Triplets
