Want to learn how to actually improvise — not just run up and down the pentatonic scale?
This lesson gives you a simple, powerful trick to start using the pentatonic scale to improvise solos that sound musical and intentional, not random.
We’ll work in the C minor pentatonic and use:
⦿ The 5 box shapes
⦿ Repeating 3-note patterns
⦿ Real-world lick examples
