Escape the Pentatonic Trap in One Lesson

Hope you're having a great Sunday. I'm a little bit washed out here. I have some brightness on here so you can see my guitar. We're going to talk about escaping the pentatonics, the irregular boxes.

We're going to talk about pentatonics, too, though. But, uh, wanted to let you guys know that that, uh, my scale course, the scale matrix is on sale until midnight tonight, Eastern time. So, you got about nine more hours. Um, I'm going to talk about some of the things that are in the course.

Um, before we get started, uh, Mike is pasting these things in. You can see where where you can go. You can go to guitarscales.co, uh, to get it there. But, um, I have some dates coming up here.

Uh, you can find them on my website, some live shows. I just came back from San Francisco where I played uh, at a place called the Prescidio and I interviewed you interviewed Neil Shonne from Jouri who's one of my favorite guitar players. Amazing. Amazing.

I'm actually going to look it up here so that I can tell you where where it is. Uh, I've got shows in um Berlin October 25th, Stockholm the 28th, Oslo the 29th, um, Helsinki the November 1st, London November 3rd, and Dublin on November 5th. Hope to see you guys that live over there at these shows. If you're there, please come and say hello.

And uh and now we're going to talk about some of the things that are in the course. I'm going to pick pick some um I'm going to pick some particular things some topics that are actually chapters in the course. Uh like um uh let's say chapter five is developing pentatonic sequences.
