Breaking out of the pentatonic boxes doesn’t mean that you have to totally change the way you play guitar and start all over again, in fact, it’s very much the opposite! It simply means that you use your pentatonic knowledge as the foundation to build a more varied library of ideas.

In this lesson we will be changing our basic minor pentatonic to include the major 3rd. This gives us a cool new sound that works wonders over dominant 7th chords, and therefore works well in blues and funk playing! Combining the major and minor pentatonic ideas like this is a classic blues trick, so watch carefully!
