Pentatonics & Hexatonics for Guitar
A Complete Guide to Minor Pentatonics, Minor Blues, Minor Pentatonic Add Major 3, Major 6, Major 7, & Add 9
This course is a complete guide to pentatonics & hexatonics for guitar.
Based partly on the widely-accepted "CAGED" system utilized by the world's most prominent guitarists and teachers, it examines the following pentatonics & hexatonics in all keys and positions:
-Minor Pentatonic
-Minor Blues (Hexatonic)
-Minor Pentatonic Add Major 3 (Hexatonic)
-Minor Pentatonic Add Major 6 (Hexatonic)
-Minor Pentatonic Add Major 7 (Hexatonic)
-Minor Pentatonic Add 9 (Hexatonic)
Also included are melodic patterns & odd note groupings for the development of melodic contour.
Though this course includes music theory, its primary focus is on the practicalities of recognizing, practicing, memorizing, and improvising with pentatonics & hexatonics in every key & position on the guitar.
The course also explores melodic & harmonic embellishments such as chromaticisms (passing tones, upper & lower neighbor tones, approach tones, & various enclosures), and double-stops, expanding the basic pentatonic & hexatonic sounds into blues, jazz, & beyond.
Pentatonics & hexatonics are an excellent investment of your practice time, regardless of style, genre, or level.
By expanding into melodic patterns & odd note groupings, you'll develop a more capable technique, and also a stronger ear for melodic contour.
Your reading, aural skills, and technique will continually improve if you integrate pentatonics & hexatonics into your daily practice; the course closes with a detailed six-week practice plan to show you how.
This course is a must for mastering the written & improvised language of blues, rock, jazz, and beyond!
