- warmin up, 50 measures pentatonic 5 boxes 140 beats/min
- practice (blind) pentatonic 100 measures 240 beats/min 5 boxes
- practice connecting 5 boxes pentatonic on backingtrack 11 min, tempo 100

- Practice pentatonic at speed 250 beats/min for 20 min

- Free jam with pentatonic over Blues, rock and Metal backingtracks for 2.5 hours

I made a recording of some jam work over a backingtrack. It is not blues but it was just fun. Simply walking over the pentatonic in Am going to Cm and back. Try to fit the root notes and connect the boxes. There are some errors!

Looks like you are moving right along. Reminds me know to get back into my "log".

Nice playing by the way.

Thank You,

Its lots of practice but its fun and finally I found a site (school) where I find useful information and it feels good to be here.

I think Robert started a fine community here.

Keep on logging 🙂

Practice Major scale in C, Pattern 1 at 70 beats with eight notes, 5 blocks of 6 minutes (thats about 20 repeats per block.

I use this metronome: https://www.imusic-school.com/en/tools/online-metronome/

Practice same pattern 1 on a backing track a bit faster, starting with going up and down the scale, then trying to bring some melodies.

I us this backing track: Acoustic Rock Guitar Backing Track C Major

I do this several times during the day. I like to start tomorrow with pattern 2.

Very Nice post Frank.  The stiffness will change with practice, but you clearly have a talent.  Tone was nice,  timing was good.  well done!

That's really creative.  I love how it builds up in the middle.  You could try a few double stops to fatten it (only a suggestion),  really enjoyed it.

Thanky Wobbly. Question, wat do you mean with “ double stops”?

Playing 2 notes as one.  I'm pretty sure you were playing in Em?  So an example would be barre the 12 fret on the top 2 strings.  15 on the b with 14 on the g is also good.  There are heaps of relationships to explore.  Try this lesson here on MGA its awesome!

I will try this out. Thanks for the tip.

the piece that I play is however in Am. first notes start in box one at fret 5. Here is the track;

Am good so transpose what I said to the fifth fret.  😉
