Legato Patterns with Pentatonics (Guitar Lesson SC-025) How to play

In this guitar lesson I show you how to use some legato patterns to speed up your pentatonic scales and get some cool licks. I go through one pattern in detail and then just show you another 5 that you can explore for yourself.

I got taught these patterns by my teacher many years ago, but a few guys have sent me links that the main pattern here is also taught by Paul Gilbert in his video called Intense Rock II. He plays it way better than me too. I'm pretty sure you can't copyright licks anyway, but I feel I should credit Paul Gilbert here because he was almost certainly the origin of these licks (via my teacher). So if you want some more even more intense licks then look up his video - it's pretty amazing.

So I emailed Paul to check he wasn't going to be pissed about my use of the lick. His reply:

"I haven't copyrighted any pentatonic licks, but I do own F# on the 11th fret of the G string exclusively.

Rock and Roll, Paul"

What a dude. So all you kids, check out the lick, but NO PLAYING F# on the 11th FRET - OK!!! Or else ;)

There is TAB for the licks and the patterns on the web site - you probably wanna check that out - will make them easier to learn...


Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

Keep the video up. There's probably a dozen similar lessons out there. Let the viewer choose which they want to learn from.

Are you from down under because of your English accent? just curios! anyway thanks for the lessons I'm really learning them articulately fast!

Thanks for another very useful lesson, it's not to see a different take on pentatonic stuff Justin.

Hi, Justin!

A great lesson again!

I'm a beginner, but one day I want to be on stage with the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton ;-). Your lessons are very helpful on my way to Rock'n'Roll.

All we are saying is : Justin for President!

Hey Justin, great licks ;-) I would be interested to learn more about the way to use the pick to get more velocity... Thanks for your good job.

Copyrights for guitar licks now that is sick. OK a few months ago I thought about starting a chocolate biz. The next thing I see walking in a farmer's market is someone selling chocolates exactly the way I was thinkinkg. Now if that isn't intellectual property theft I don't what is. Can anyone say e-mind reading?

All Gibsons fail in the third string tuning!!
