Get New Sounds Out Of Pentatonic Scales With One Small Change

pentatonics scales May 08, 2026

Pentatonic scales are a fantastic tool to get you soloing. Even after playing for 25+ years I use them all the time. But overusing them can get boring and sound uninspiring.

That's why I wanted to share this simple idea for how you can breath new life into your playing by making one simple adjustment to the pentatonic shapes you already know. 

By shifting one note of the scale, you can access a new type of sound that will inspire new ideas and freshen up your soloing. I've been playing with this idea and it's made a difference for me, and I think it will for you too.
