  • hey guys, ive really started getting back into guitar and trying to learn how to solo. my one bane is that i cant get any speed and picking. rate now im practicing my pentatonic scale and alternate picking but i want to know, is that a reliable way to increase speed overall when doing a solo, or only when doing that scale? im just really tired of this stump im in and any help would be appreciated!

  • @VengeanceNL Yes you can use the basic minor pentatonic scale and also to make it sound more bluesy you can add another note which lies between the 3rd and fourth note (in the first position). So if your playing in the key of A it would be on the 5th string-6th fret and also the 3rd string-8th fret. My advice to you would be to learn about intervals, this then makes it easier to know where to play all over the fret board as you begin feel the gaps between the notes you could play. Gd luck!

  • thx and god bless.

    a sincere blessing from hong kong.

    ^_^

  • Can you use the pentatonic scale's also for blues solo's?

    or what scales are the best to use for blues?

  • one of the easiest scales to learn....

  • i have this guitar :L

  • Of course alternate picking is the way to go for speed. It should lead you to circle picking where there are no alternate stops - just circles around the string...

  • @ibaneziceman300 from gibson

  • easiest scale of all time
