Watch the video left and practice playing this Pentatonic Pattern number 1
When you have mastered this then practice the same pattern in many positions up and down the neck of the guitar, alternating your pick down -
As you become comfortable with the pattern slowly increase the speed, then play around with the notes in a different order trying to inject some feeling, see the Video in section (F) below
Remember just watching the videos and reading is not enough, you need to do the training and practice also

The first part of the video shows the basic format for the Pentatonic pattern, make sure you have this part totally mastered, then try experimenting. Remember a little bit of knowledge, practicing the right things and a lot of feel can go a long way
It’s not how much you know but how well you play the little that you do know
The chords used in this video are shown on the next page Module 1 Page 2
So why are we starting with a Pentatonic scale?
The choice is yours, you can go to Module 1 Page 2 and work on the chords now if you want to, but basically we need to develop both our scales and chords and left and right hand as well as our strumming and picking to enable good playing and expertise, so if you are not comfortable and are new to most of this I recommend that you
