Why Is the Pentatonic Minor So Important?
The pentatonic minor scale is so frequently used in Blues, Rock, Metal and Folk music. As a beginner to playing lead guitar and improvisation, it is best you start by learning the pentatonic scales first as opposed to learning the regular major or minor scales. The pentatonic scale only has 5 notes and it is much easier to visualise, remember, as well as play..when compared to the major scales.
The best thing about pentatonic minor is that it will sound great on almost all your rock songs, and there will rarely ever be an off note.
Just a thing to note – The Blues scale is actually the same as the pentatonic but with only 1 note difference between them. The Blues scale will be covered in a different section.
