Pentatonic Masterclass: Beginner

*Please Note: Also available as part of the box set*

Here's what we said about the full pentatonic masterclass course:

International JTC artist Luca Mantovanelli is your teacher as he guides you through his approach to mastering pentatonics. Throughout the 3 courses you will develop from a pentatonic practiser to a pentatonic master! This is a must have for any budding guitarist!

The pentatonic scale is at the core of nearly every modern guitarist's solos. They are used in almost every style of music in some form, everywhere around the world. They sound absolutely great, and are the perfect framework for hanging more advanced harmonic concepts around, but do you know them as well as you should?

It doesn't matter if you have never even played a pentatonic scale before, or if you've got them down pretty well but need to really take your understanding and ideas up a level, this is the ultimate pentatonic box set that you need to accomplish your pentatonic goals!

Starting with the 'Beginner' pack; this package will introduce you to the basic shapes and idea of the pentatonic scale. This is your chance to really build a strong foundation for your understanding of the pentatonic scale and start mapping the shapes across the neck using the exercises included and the diagrams in the masterclass PDF. Once you've got the very basics down, Luca has 10 exciting (but nice and simple) licks to show you how to start utilising your new scale in the context of a musical setting. Once you've nailed these, Luca has a very cool full solo for you to learn in order to show you how these ideas can fit into a 'real world' solo example.

Next comes the 'Intermediate' pack: this package will take the basics and start switching things up a little. The exercises and diagrams introduce more patterns, and creative ideas to start making the pentatonic scale sound more interesting and fresh. This is your chance to build a real familiarity with the scale and get to grips with some slightly more complicated techniques. After you have these ideas down, it's onto some more involved licks that show you the real potential of the pentatonic scale! After the licks comes an absolutely rocking solo that is highly accessible yet laced with a few challenging ideas to keep you on your toes and pushing those boundaries.

Finally, it's time for the 'Advanced' package; this is where things really start to get fiery with exercises and concepts that will challenge even the more advanced players out there! Luca really pulls out all the stops with this pack in order to take your current pentatonic abilities and give them a massive boost! The licks here are more physically and mentally challenging, are just what you need to take your solos to whole new heights! We finish on a kickass solo that will blow you away, utilising all the ideas and concepts from the whole series into one mega solo. Luca is on top form here, and if you can master this one, you will be too!

Every exercise, lick and solo has supporting video, audio, TAB, diagrams (where appropriate), alongside the main explanations in the masterclass PDF files to help you to learn, study and master this pentatonic course. We've even included the lick backings, and full jam tracks so you can practise the ideas on your own, and then craft your own awesome pentatonic solos to show off all the great concepts and ideas that you will learn inside this 3 pack course!
