  Studying blues guitar can be frustrating if you dont know what guitar scales to use. Due to the fact of that, in this blues guitar lesson well take a look at another actually common scale used in blues soloing. Once you master this guitar scale, youll have an additional excellent weapon in your lead guitar arsenal! So, with that in thoughts, lets take a look at it now
  
  **Blues Guitar Scale #2: The Major Pentatonic Scale**
  
  This is one of my preferred sounding guitar scales! To my ears, it has a extremely bright, open and satisfied sound to it. Some of my students comment that its sound reminds them of country guitar. (But lets not hold that against it! You can also use it to wonderful effect in blues guitar solos).
  
  The major pentatonic scale is a 5 note guitar scale that has this formula
  
  1 2 3 five six
  
  This formula tells us what we require to do to the major scale in order to construct this scale. As an example, well work out the notes of C key pentatonic scale
  
  Step 1:
  
  Create down the notes that the C major scale utilizes. Here are the notes we get by performing this
  
  C D E F G A B
  
  Step 2:
  
  Remove the fourth and seventh notes from the C major scale. We do this due to the fact the formula of the major pentatonic scale doesnt include a four or a 7. This gives us the following notes
  
  C D E G A
  
  These are the notes of the C major pentatonic scale. Pretty easy huh?
  
  You now know the theory behind the main pentatonic scale, so whats the subsequent step? Putting it into practice! I believe that finding out theory with no really playing it on your guitar is an absolute waste of time. We all know guitarists who know a LOT of theory, but their playing still sucks! Since I don't want this to happen to you, right here are a couple of recommendations to assist
  
  you apply this scale to your guitar
  
  - Map the notes of the C significant pentatonic scale onto a fretboard diagram.
  
  - Make up some fingering for it on your guitar. There are no actual guidelines. As lengthy as you stick to the notes C D E G and A, you are playing the C key pentatonic scale.
  
  - Make up some licks that use guitar amp the C main pentatonic scale.
  
  - Practice soloing more than some blues backing tracks making use of the scale.
  
  - Operate out the licks and solos of your favored guitar players.
  
  The possibilities are endless! The more techniques you apply the key pentatonic scale to your guitar the greater. Be creative, operate difficult, and most importantly...have exciting!
