Pentatonic Scale Guitar Licks and Tricks

The area where im suffering the most is when it comes to licks and tricks using the pentatonic scales, they are in key, but kind of boring. Do you know of any good video's that just focus on licks, technique, and cool sounding guitar tricks?


In order to learn how to riff and jam with pentatonic scale patterns, you need to learn lots of pentatonic scale songs. Pentatonic melodies, riffs, lead guitar solos, and even bass lines from popular songs will demonstrate exactly how to apply the patterns in a musical context including technique and tricks. That's why I include so many song references in my guitar theory book and DVDs. After you have built up a solid repertoire of examples, then you can work the licks and phrases into your own playing.
