In this video I attempt to cram a lot of music theory and guitar theory into a span of about 20 minutes. The ultimate goal is to think differently about the fingerboard while you're soloing. I'm hoping the visuals help do a lot of the talking haha.

We start by talking about the hidden chords in the Pentatonic Scale and how to overlay them on top of the scale. The shapes are so transposable and usable that once you get the hang of it, your guitar solos will change forever and you'll get to be more specific.

Practice Method #1:
Just arpeggiate the shapes over the chord progression to get used to to the extra info in the pentatonic scale.

Practice Method #2:
End your phrases on notes that are part of the current chord. Keep it simple, maybe come up with a phrase that you know will end on a note thats part of the chord.

Practice Method #3:
If thats feeling easy, try to START and END phrases on notes that are part of the chord. You don't need to be perfect at it, its just about learning to be aware of the chord shapes.

Practice Method #4:
Very loosely just have fun with it. When you're on a note that is part of the chord, you can jump to another note thats part of the chord. This isn't a hard and fast music theory rule, but its a useful method of practice.
