0:00 - Intro
There's no "right" way to approaching the pentatonic scale. But there is an easy way where you only have to learn two positions of the scale and still unlock the fretboard of the guitar.
1:26 - Trick #1 - Know The Root Note
The key to fully understanding the guitar is locating the root note of the scale.
3:12 - Trick #2 - Add Musical Context
Play over a backing track and try experimenting with how you play the scale. You'll find melodies from changing the order or phrasing of the scale.
5:12 - Trick #3 - Master One Part Of The Neck
Start with mastering ONE part of the neck to keep it simple and accessible. So when you hear a lick, you know where to find it.
7:46 - 4th Position Pentatonic Scale
You can also call it the A string root Pentatonic shape. This is when you can start to add new colors and notes.
9:46 - Transposing The Pentatonic Scale
When you know the regions of the neck really well, you'll be able to find and move up the octave and play the same shape. Now the whole fretboard is covered!
10:53 - Next Steps
Remember root notes and learn your intervals!
12:30 - Performance
Now we'll put everything we learned into one guitar jam.

I'm a 74 year old beginner. Only learned about the pentatonic scales a couple months ago and have been practicing what you showed us in the beginning. I call myself old slow fingers. But one of the very first things I learned is that you can make real melodic sounds just by skipping around any of the scales. It impressed me so much that I believe what teachers say about scales being boring is b.s. I love doing scales, all of them. I began learning because I'm afraid that one of these days dementia may set in and after reading a piece on researchers who visited a nunnery found that some of the nuns who had alzheimers and dementia , showed no signs of it. They discovered that the nuns played scrabble, chess, and did crossword puzzles. I'll be practicing until my wife takes my guitar away from me.

Bravo! Where were you and KZfaq 40 years ago when I started playing the guitar? It was such an overwhelming task to try to learn the 5 different pentatonic shapes and then just remember where the root was when you played in a different key! Needless to say I never mastered it. This is genius to only learn 2 shapes. Thank you and keep the lessons coming, please!

I have been playing for a long time and have had several bands. I do have to say that the teachers back then Never taught like you do. I thinks teachers back then made students give up the guitar. At 14 I was listening to Jimi Hendrix (My Favorite) and actually learned to play guitar from listening to him and then figuring the song out. I still have my 1968 Strat and several other guitars. Again, don't stop what you are doing. You are a Great teacher, writer and a Great Performer! love your songs! You Are Truly Talented and Gifted!...

Hi Ayla. I stopped in to see this lesson, while doing a search and wanted to leave a comment. I have been playing for a long time and I also teach the guitar. I have been around some GREAT guitarists, because I used to do some agent work and set up concert events through my company back then, for people like Muriel Anderson, Stephen Bennett, Richard Smith, etc........so some great guitarists. There is a trick to teaching guitar and you have that knack. I just wanted to say good luck and I think people will really benefit by watching you, INCLUDING ME. I am always practicing to stay in shape. I am pretty old school, playing my own songs, as well as covering classic rock artists.

Ayla is as they say "TOTALLY AWESOME" in her ability to teach, In watching her numerous videos it has opened this 65yr old eyes to new ways to play the guitar with her easy to understand examples. I never get overloaded with new concepts that she demonstrates in her videos. Rock on Ayla.....!!!!!

She is both a nuanced musician and an effective teacher. Guitareo has produced this well to be a good hang in a cool bedroom with a person who lives in a healthy zone. These are great videos and she's so wonderful and weirdly Canadian and cool. I really hope she gets to make all the music she's tapping in to. A positive vibe on a conflicted planet. Go forth, ATM! Kids have it so good these days with videos like this, this will help the planet one note and space at a time. Keep on keepin on.

Great lesson. Perhaps you could expand on embellishments, like bends, hammer-on/pull-offs etc. while soloing in the scales?

Good lesson. I learned the five pentatonic shapes a few decades ago but funny enough the two shapes you talk about here (including the extension on shape 1) are the two that I gravitate to and use the most. There's something about them individually and together that allows melodies and lines to just come out very naturally. More so than the other three shapes for some reason, at least for me. And as you point out, those two together allow you to cover the fingerboard.
