This is a great 'hack' for playing better improvisations using the minor pentatonic scale. We start with a chord shape - build the scale off it and move it to different areas of the neck to open up our lick possibilities.

In this episode I'm addressing one of the questions I get asked the most. I'm going to be talking you through what I feel is the most useful approach to the CAGED system and learning the fretboard in general and shoeing you a cool lick you can start with that uses a shape you already know.

Awesome to chat to Eddie 9v hot off of their European tour with acts like Kingfish, Joe Bonamassa and Blackberry Smoke.

Eddie 9V has made a name for himself in the blues scene in the south, wowing all types of audiences with his searing Freddie King-style approach to guitar and his original retro/soul songs.

Really enjoyed this chat, hope you do to.

In this lesson I'm talking about rhythm. We talk about this in both and acoustic and electric context, both for solos and rhythm playing. I hear players all the time who have worked out really cool lines and licks in their playing but they lack that little extra somehting and I believe rhythm is the answer!
