Mr V's Guitar Journ(ey) - Episode 1 - Minor Pentatonic

Mr V's Guitar Journ(ey)

Come with me on this Journ(ey)!

Welcome to the very first episode of my journey from 40-year beginner guitarist to advanced musician. I have been playing the guitar for ~40 years now. I am completely self taught and while my knowledge is diverse and expansive, I still consider myself a beginner. That is primarily for two reasons:

1. I simply have not practiced on a daily (routine) basis. Heck, during my 40 years I have sometimes gone a year or so without picking up my guitar at all.
2. When I do practice, it is usually a specific riff or lick that I already know, or a song that I already know.

The worst part is, that I have practiced box/shape 1 of the Pentatonic Minor for about 32 years. In other words, I am an expert at knowing shape 1 but do not know any of the other position on the entire fretboard!

That's all going to change today! I am committed to buckling down and staying focused on important pieces of music and guitar until I have mastered this instrument. My first step will be memorizing every position of the Minor Pentatonic scale, which will result in me also knowing every note on the fretboard. I believe this is a key foundation of mastering the guitar.

Wanna do this with me? Start by commenting below and we'll work on this process together! We can keep each other accountable during this journey!
