Today I am going to show you how to use the Pentatonic scale to create beautiful and exciting solos on the guitar. If you have been playing around with this scale for a while and you are looking for something new, this lesson is definitely worth giving it a try.

The Pentatonic scale is one of the most popular scales on the guitar. The reasons why this scale is so amazing is because of its unique interval structure based on five notes rather than seven.

In this lesson, we are going to have a look at the A minor pentatonic scale and how to play it in three different ways:

• Horizontally on one string.
• Horizontally on multiple strings.
• Vertically in one position.

You can use the Pentatonic scale, as shown in this exercise on both electric and acoustic guitar.

Enjoy this lesson.
