Improvisation on minor scales keeping aside modes is obviously a new concept and sounds great.

Hi Niumaia, the pentatonic minor scale is a perfect start for playing lead. Many famous solos have never gone beyond that simple scale pattern – and yet they sound great. Have a look at the videos at this link: http://www.riffninja.com/improvising/ and you’ll see some examples of what can be done using just that same scale pattern.

Hi Jonathan,

I feel I’m practising the Minor Pent scale without believing that it would help me play lead. After reading most of the comments in various blogs I’m more confused/

My aim is to be able to play ‘a ‘lead’ part interspersed with the singing part. It usully involves playing notes that agree with the singing part either during the singing and also when you do a solo, again using the same notes, when there is a break in the singing.

I hope I’ve described it accurately.Would the minor pent scale enable me to do that?

Be grateful with your comment.

Thanks Joseph!

After you know where the scale patterns are, it becomes a life-long quest to learn them better and better, and to learn how to relate to the intervals in each scale in your soloing etc…

Hello Jonathan,
You are a great teacher, and I am giving you an A++. Your style of teaching is universal that any one can grasp the way you explain. You really want your students to learn and that is establishing a legacy. I spent on bundles of guitar books and it did not help me at all but one single 4 pages manual that illustrates the music theory in diagram and that is it and you are on your own. but you explained the missing link to me on your Guitar Scale Pattern. Without you I already gave up, its been three years playing on and of with the scales and it did not do me any good. I asked myself, What is next after learning the scales? I think I am not the only one with that question. I found the answer in the Guitar Scale Pattern and Unlocking 145. Thank you for now and time for me to watch my favorite Decoding the Bass Guitar. My dream, that one day I can play a solo in a 5 or 6 string bass guitar. Thank you again and more power to you.
Joseph Vitug.
