In this video, I explain my recent epiphany about shifting pentatonic shapes in order to solo melodically over chord changes. This technique has been a game-changer for me, and it took hundreds of animation steps to try to make it clear.
I'm excited about this one!
The 14-page PDF written version of the lesson is available above. Silver members can read it on this page too, with a backing track player built into each of the two worked examples — D - A - Bm - G and "Little Wing" — so you can watch the scale shift with the chords while you play over them.

The written lesson is a Silver benefit.
Silver-tier patrons and up can read it here. If you think you should have access, get in touch.
