Truefire Jeffery Marshall's Pentatonic Hijacks TUTORiAL

Pentatonic Firepower for Blues and Rock Soloing
The major and minor pentatonic shapes and sounds are the first scales most blues and rock players learn to start soloing and improvising with. Pentatonics got us up and running quickly, but we all hit that roadblock where pentatonic scales aren't producing the sounds we hunger for.

Your instructor will tell you to learn more theory, learn more scales, and get a solid grip on modes - there are no shortcuts. No argument, that's very good advice. However, a quick and very easy way to take your soloing to a whole new level is a click away - Jeffery Marshall's Pentatonic Hijacks.

”In this course, we will 'hijack' the Major and Minor pentatonic scale to easily and quickly expand your creative options when soloing and improvising. This approach is ideal for players who want to get up and running quickly without learning a ton of music theory, scales, or modes.

We will base everything around the basic pentatonic shape, which you probably already know. We will add notes to the pentatonic scales to create more sophisticated sounds.

As we traverse through the course, we'll get more advanced, but we'll always refer back to the basic pentatonic shape and scale. Once you get a grip on this approach, you can jump into many more advanced concepts to get way outside the basic pentatonic sound.

I've also created eight exclusive backing tracks for this course to help you improve and practice these strategies in a musical context.”

You'll have TrueFire's interactive learning tools at your fingertips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

The performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video with controls for looping, slow motion, fretboard animation, and many other helpful tools. Backing tracks, Guitar Pro files, printable tab and notation are also included.
