Hello,

I learned the B Pentatonic Scale yesterday and it has been a revelation. How important is that scale to guitar playing? Do you remember how you reacted when you first learned that scale? It was a fun day yesterday playing with that scale. Me and Strat had fun!

Very important indeed.

Now, you need to learn all the scales, modes, arpeggios and chords.

Hello Yellow !
My first post in here Fender community ;)

redlegs, I am a noobie myself but know the pentatonic scales and I remember that I was trying to learn them so hard it was freaking mind-blowing, I was getting confused in the thing, like 'wtf am I playing.. pos 1 ? what..Key..EJRSDJF"

and I haven't even noticed that with time I totally got this thing down and know all the scales, I was like Cool !!! I can do some beginner stuff improvisations with backing tracks.

But time goes by, and I ask myself what's next ? I want to be better ! I want to be muchhh better, I want to solo new stuff and not be bound only to pentatonic scales, I want to play cool chords variations n stuff...

I guess learning never stops and that's amazing :)

redlegs75, that's cool, are you talking about the minor pentatonic or the Major pentatonic?

The pentatonic scale is a good place to start learning how to play solos. The problem is that it rapidly starts to sound clichéed, unimaginative and predictable to the point of complete tedium.

Many guitarists are happy to continue using the pentatonic scale and nothing else for their entire careers but they do tend to be the unimaginative ones. Once you learn to experiment with other scales and modes your guitar playing takes a leap forward and you stop relying on the beginner's pentatonic tedium scale.

You guys keep saying the pentatonic scale so I assume you mean Major pentatonic.
