The First-Box Pentatonic Run

Beginner Key of A minor 90 BPM pentatonicrock
Loading the interactive tab…
Speed 100%

This is the run every rock and blues player learned first, straight up and out of the box-one minor pentatonic shape at the 5th fret. It sounds like a lick, but it secretly teaches you the whole shape.

Start slow with the loop on. Aim for one clean pick stroke per note, and let the last note ring like you meant it. Speed comes on its own.
