20 Essential Pentatonic Licks: Beginner

Embrace the true power of a soloing staple and ramp up your lead guitar vocabulary with Luca’s creative take on the tried and trusted pentatonic scale.

You’ll learn the different shapes of the pentatonic scale via 20 specially crafted licks that will help you create show stopping solos of your own. You’ll encounter classic blues lines to get a true feel for the ‘sound’ of the pentatonic scale, as well as string bends, slides, grace-notes, quarter-tone bends, double-stops and more.

Once you master the first batch of licks, you’ll begin to expand on your new-found knowledge by moving diagonally around the fretboard in an effort to blow open the “box” shapes we can sometimes rely on. Luca also shows you licks with phrases that build around chord tones for maximum impact.

Included in this pack are 20 licks played both fast and slow, a PDF guide to each lick, short, long and slow lick backings plus full tab/notation.

All buildings need a strong foundation and guitar is no different. Luca Mantovanelli shows you the essential 5 notes to start soloing like a pro.
