This one-note per string scale idea is taken from the last section of my M elodic Patterns book so if this area interest you, you may want to check that book out. (and remember – slow and steady wins the race here with regards to practice gains!) Just use the same techniques that you used in getting the first lick down and pay attention to the 3 T’s ( timing, (hand) tension and (quality of) tone and you’ll be fine. All I’ve done in lick #2 is chromatically ascend and then descend again like so: This lick is just the first notes of lick #1 with a chromatically descending pattern based on the last three notes. Lick #2 is just silly – but it’s a fun idea and it’s a great way to work on the 3-string picking pattern. Use pick hand muting to mute the D string once you play the first note on the high E string – and try practicing the lick as 9-note groupings to work that transition. The biggest challenge with this lick will probably be taming the open D string when you switch from the 3-string D-G-B pattern back to the top three strings. taking the finger pressure off the string after each note is played) will help with articulation.Ģ. As with the sweep picking blues pentatonic lesson, keeping the notes staccato (i.e. For even more of a bluegrass sound, add the E on the 12th fret E string between the D and the G).ġ. That might sound exotic – but it’s just 4 notes from the G Blues scale (G, Bb, C, Db and F).įinally, it ends up with a G major triad with an added b3rd (a useful bluegrass cliché. Then the lick jumps from the D to Db to start the G min7b5 (add11) arpeggio. It uses the same picking pattern as the first arpeggio: The next chord is a G min 7 starting from the b3rd. If you remove the E, you have a nice voicing for a G7 chord starting from the 3rd, but for melodic playing it’s easier to arpeggiate the chord as 3 note groups. So I cheated it and used the D instead, grabbing the E on the B string keeping the D and adding a B on the D-string. The spread wasn’t an easy one to get in to or out of cleanly. G, F, E, D, C, B, A) but – while the first three notes sounded great: Originally, I was going to use a straight descending 1 note-per string scale version of G Mixolydian (i.e. This is a transitional lick that resolves to G that uses different G-based chords starting from G, Bb and Db (aka G diminished). Now, let me explain a little about what going on here. ( Note: fingerstyle players can play the 3-note groups as p-i-m) Here’s the first lick (in the video it’s played at 120 bpm – first as triplets then sextuplets): Both of these are transitional licks leading back into key of G (The bluegrassiest of all keys) and while they probably won’t get you beat up (hence the black and bluegrass) or kicked out of a session – they might turn a head or two! Today I have not one but TWO licks that go together like peanut butter and an ashtray. If you like this approach, you may like that lesson as well (links at the bottom of the page).

That covers the CAGED positions for the Eb Major pentatonic scale. Eb Major Pentatonic Scale in the 3rd Position (lowest fret is 3) Eb Major Pentatonic Scale in the 5th Position (lowest fret is 5) Eb Major Pentatonic Scale in the 8th Position (lowest fret is 8) Eb Major Pentatonic Scale in the 10th Position (lowest fret is 10) Eb Major Pentatonic Scale in the 12th Position (lowest fret is 12) Here are the 5 CAGED positions for the Eb Major pentatonic scale on the guitar (notes and tabs). Eb Major Pentatonic Scale in the Open Position Eb Major Pentatonic Scale CAGED Positions Let’s look at the open position for Eb Major Pentatonic, as well as the 5 CAGED positions. The best way to practise any guitar scale is to memorize the individual positions along the fretboard. Therefore, the Eb Major pentatonic scale contains the same notes as the C minor pentatonic scale.įor an in depth lesson on the theory behind the Major pentatonic scale, read the post on pentatonic scales. The relative minor of Eb Major is C minor. The E flat Major pentatonic scale contains the following notes:
