Lesson 06 | Pentatonic Pitstop
In this lesson, we spend some time moving between the A Shape and G Shape pentatonic scales with a fingering exercise and a tune designed to make you think about your finger choices.
These exercises are designed to give you a manageable playground to practice what many beginning & intermediate guitar players would consider the most under-explained aspect of guitar playing: choosing which fingers to use and why.
I learned things like this while taking classical guitar lessons, but even then I had to infer the logic from the written fingering. This "fix or foreshadow" idea isn't an all-encompassing method, but it is a great start for designing your own ergonomic path through a melody, riff, solo, etc.
