Here you can learn a very simple method how you can use and connect all minor pentatonic positions in a solo. The backing track I have used can be downloaded here : https://itunes.apple.com/album/funk-rock-am-95-feat-hanspeter-kruesi/668781969?i=668782011

Here you can get the graphics for all 5 minor pentatonic patterns : minor pentatonic pattern 1-5.pdf

HP thanks for the lesson. You made navigating a solo in the Pentatonic scale very easy to understand.

Hey Sean, you are welcome. I think this is the most easy method to work with all pentatonic positions. ?

Thank you. I guess knowing to start and end on the root should be obvious but you're the first teacher to point this out. Now I know along with connecting the positions and making the goal! ?

Well this is a system which always works  as a guideline - once you are fine with that you can get start to variy the improvisation system and take other notes then the root in fokus. But it will always stay that way that we need to make the GOAL ?

Hi Hanspeter .... Although I'm thoroughly enjoying your current/recent video tutorials/lessons (August 2019), after watching this video, I realise my personal ability is considerably below that which is required to execute the material taught in these videos. Now a full member, I intend to go back to the start and concentrate on your earlier theoretical lessons before venturing fully into the riff/song videos. I think this video/lesson was a great start to my plans BTW!!!

Hey Phil, well if you can play the pentatonics in one position ( no. 1 ) and you can play some licks and rhythm guitar you can follow most of the lessons. Only if you want to really follow the masterclasses you need to have your things a bit more together. For sure it's very useful to know all pentatonic positions. That I strongly recommend.

Here in Argentina when you put your T-shirt inside out we say, or your going to have a surprise and others may say it's good luck ?

oh thats a nice sign - unfortunatly I dont remember what happened on that day anymore.

Hey HP, this is one of my favourite ways to play the guitar, and it doesn’t matter if in rock, blues or even unplugged in the middle of the night, it’s always cool. Thank you for showing how to practice this scale lesson with a cool rhythm especially with the extortion on.  I love it! And with the bendings (which are getting better and better) the cooler it gets! I hope I’ll be ready to do a cool gig with you when we meet for our next lesson. Cheers!

Hey Carloline, yeah the pentatonics are great to practice all the time by any time of the day. With the bendings it just takes some time till they work but once they work it's like riding a bike - it's easy.

I will be curious for our next jam in the lessons B-)

Not much luck in finding the backing track….link leads me to “Apple Music” and a subscription.. would like the backing track only.   Any chance for a down load?

The premium member files are fully starting in April 2019 - so this tutorial was prior to that date. This backing track is available in any download or streaming store. HPCrazy - Rock Backing Tracks Vol. 1 - Funk Rock Am 95

Found it… thank you!
