Learn the ultimate rock scale

With the basics covered we move on to learning your first scales including the ultimate rock scale (better known as the pentatonic scale) and using it to play your first riffs and solos. We show you how to play a variety of bends slides hammer-ons and pull-offs and then how to apply them to your new scale shapes so that you can play the solos and even improvise your own. By the end of the course you will fundamentally understand how lead guitar playing works and be ready to move on to level two!
