Hey guys and gals!!!! Its Ben Eller, back with another episode of Weekend Wankshop thats gonna give you some crazy new phrasing concepts to get you shredding the minor pentatonic scale harder than ever!!! Behold the power of my ShapeShifter phrasing ideas!!!
When it comes to hot pentatonic licks in the styles of Eric Johnson, Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa, and Eric Gales, i prefer to phrase my licks in such a way that there are two or four notes happening on every string; doing it this way keeps my picking moving in a predictable and efficient manner, without any awkward "flipping" or inverting of the picking patterns like you sometimes encounter when playing an odd number of notes on a string. One of the ways i do this and get maximum cool phrasing is to simply shift up OR down a scale pattern of the pentatonic, which gives me a direct highway to more 2's or 4's!!! If you are a downwards pickslanting player like myself, this is going to be the key to keeping your momentum up during the hottest of high speed licks. Plus it helps you learn to see those other scale shapes better and better and conquer the neck!!!
In this lesson, i'll show you 3 different pentatonic patterns, the basic idea of the shape shifter concept, then a super sick lick that utilizes them so you can practice up! Its exactly what you need to bring the heat to your rock, metal, blues, or jazz playing!
Playing my G&L Legacy with @BKPickups Veneer Board set into the Fractal Axe FX 3! Love this setup!
