A Minor Jam Track
E Minor Jam Track
In this course we’ve really focused on Box 1 of the pentatonic minor pattern, with only the odd detour talking about other areas. This was by design, so we could really focus on how to make musical sounding solos with a simple pattern. However, you will not want to confine yourself to a single pattern forever!
We’re going to look at one last riff here, and then discuss how it can be moved elsewhere on the fretboard, so as to really multiply its usefulness.
Although I did not include them on the video for you, I have tabbed out all the variations of this riff, and included them down below. I highly encourage you to take one (or all!) of the riffs we’ve covered in this course, and follow this same process with it, on your own. I guarantee you’ll learn something by doing so!
Here’s the original:
Second location:
And another…
You’re not getting tired are you? We’re just getting warmed up!
And another…
Yet another… (I actually missed this one in the video)
Why stop now?
Last one!
That’s a total of EIGHT locations to play this same riff, including the original! Imagine if you took the time to follow this process with all your favorite riffs – how much more useful would they all become to you?!
In the course book I included the five pentatonic box patterns as a little bonus – if those would be helpful for you, make sure you check that out!
