The "Magic Note" - Adding the Maj 9 to Pentatonic Licks
Added 2018-12-10 20:09:20 +0000 UTCHello friends,
And welcome to another lead guitar tutorial! In today’s session we will be spicing up those boring pentatonic licks by adding a flavorful major 9 interval. This technique can be applied to both major and minor licks and is a great way to add variety to your solos. Let’s get started!
Lick #1
Our first lick primarily uses notes found in the A minor blues scale. Back sliding into the 9th interval provides a bit more brightness, and makes it much less predictable. Apply this lick to both major and minor progressions.
Lick #2
Now let’s apply the same back-slide technique to a lick that is built from the major pentatonic scale.
Lick #3
Our third and final phrase also makes use of the major pentatonic scale, beginning from the 5th scale interval.
