Pentatonic Power · Marty Schwartz and Brett Papa
Stop running the scale. Play minor pentatonic licks that sound like real solos.
A map of all five positions, then classic blues and rock licks in G and B with in-tune bends and double stops, and minor riffs in A with Brett Papa. Each lick slowly, then up to tempo, with jam tracks to use it on.

- You can bend a string roughly in tune, or want to learn to
- You like learning by watching a teacher play, slowly, up close
