The Pentatonic Scale

The pentatonic scale is the foundation of many musical genres, from blues to rock. Jennison teaches you how to master this versatile scale, ensuring you can play confidently in any key. Learning the pentatonic scale will enhance your soloing skills and provide a solid basis for further musical exploration.

Introducing a New Shape

Learning new scale shapes keeps your playing fresh and exciting. Jennison introduces new shapes that complement the pentatonic scale, broadening your melodic vocabulary. These shapes help you play more interesting lines and improve your ability to navigate the fretboard.

The Pentatonic Scale Across the Whole Neck

Mastering the pentatonic scale across the entire neck is a game-changer. Jennison guides you through connecting different scale shapes, allowing you to play seamlessly from one end of the fretboard to the other. This comprehensive approach ensures that you can solo effortlessly in any position.
