Pentatonic Pandemonium

The Pentatonic Scale is perhaps the most recognizable scale in rock, blues, and popular music.  From beginner to seasoned professional, the pentatonic scale is indispensable.

In this workshop we’ll learn (or review for experienced musicians) the pentatonic scale.  We’ll also learn how to play the pentatonic scale in different positions on the neck.  Finally we’ll learn how to use two Major and three Minor pentatonic scales.  Finally, we’ll analyze the solo from the end of Stairway to Heaven, the mightiest example of the pentatonic scale in rock music.  You’ll have your instrument in hand the whole time applying what you are learning.

You’ll leave the workshop with all chord progressions and chord diagrams we cover so you can use them in the future.

Level: For advanced beginner or intermediate musicians with an open mind about music.  A familiarity with basic chords and scales is required.  No need to read music notation required.
