Learning the notes for the blues and the minor pentatonic

If you use the A minor pentatonic scale as a basis for your musical education, you will be working with the notes A C D E and G all over the guitar neck. To help you make sense of your explorations, look at the job as learning the scale at the first, fifth and twelfth frets. Once you have mapped out the notes using those positions as starting points you will gradually be able to wander all over the fretboard instinctively. If you practice intensively. Remember if you decide to practice all the time it’s only necessary to keep it up for a shortish time. Maybe a year. If you ignore everything else in the world for a year and use your time to practice, you will be a REAL guitar player.

To start with your A minor scale, just go up and down in the three positions at first, without trying to connect them. This is boring stuff and you probably want to know how long you need to keep it up. The answer is a day or two AFTER you get bored with it. Once you can go up and down the scale in your three positions more or less in your sleep, it’s time to start working with note values. Using your metronome on a low setting, start playing your scale using triplets and quadruplets. If you don’t have any ideas on how to start, listen to some CD’s or go into your bookmarked free guitar lessons sites.

Once you have some note patterns to work with you can mix them up and start mixing up the positions you are playing at. You can move between places on the fretboard using slides, bends and hammer-ons.
