The first position of the minor pentatonic scale is the go-to scale for most rock and pop 
guitarists. It just works in so many situations -- all your favorite licks are just waiting under your fingers ready to be unleashed. While there's nothing wrong with that, it is good to break out of your comfort zone sometimes and discover some new licks to add to your arsenal.

This free lesson -- the first of a series from E-MU Education Ltd -- focuses on rakes, 
slides and bends as ways to freshen up your lead playing.
