You can also do a google search for "pentatonic guitar scale" or something like that, and find all sorts of good stuff. Start there and build your repertoire on that. It's not the only way to play lead, but it is the simplest and most common.
And don't worry if you don't sound like what's on the CD or like your friend. (Also it sounds like he would be a great resource. Maybe give him a call and see what he says.) |
I'm no expert, but the Pentatonic mode 5 (major pentatonic) looks different than I learned it. The way that I learned it, if in F it would be;
F, G, A, C, D
Am I wrong?
