    This is a great lesson, you’re a great teacher. The only suggestion I would make is to play the lick at tempo at the beginning (with some background chord reference), before you start digging into the details. It would help to understand the overall tonality of what we’re trying to hear. That being said, great lesson and I appreciate your work!!

    if you’re playing in A min wouldn’t a F# min pentatonic actually be a major pentatonic?

    @Adrain30 Yes that is correct. To be able to think of any major pentatonic’s, minor pentatonic equivalent just think of its relative minor key. For example G Major Penatonic is the same notes as E Minor Pentatonic. D Major Pentatonic is the same notes as B Minor pentatonic etc.. Cheers!! Carl..

    so the motion is like alternate picking but slow with sweep pick motion right?

    @cunigham Its basically alternate picking any notes on the same string and sweep picking when changing strings. Does that help answer your question? :)

    while I think this technique is useful to study, I think the 2 note tradtional approach to pentatonics is much better for blues/blues-rock playing.. to sweep really well takes serious effort to get it smooth.. I dont think it’s necessarily faster.. just listen to someone like Eric Johnson.. he’s fluid, fast and classy

    @cunigham think of it as economy picking.
