In this episode of the Guitar and Improvisation Podcast, we explore pentatonic scale concepts for jazz guitar improvisation. The pentatonic scale is one of the most versatile tools in a guitarist's toolkit, and we show you how to use major and minor pentatonic shapes in creative ways over jazz harmony. Learn how to apply pentatonic substitutions, create angular melodic lines, and add a fresh dimension to your soloing vocabulary.
