Three-note-per-string pentatonics are a fantastic place to start. What we'll be doing is combining the first and second pentatonic positions and play them simultaneously, then the second and third, third and fourth, fourth and fifth, fifth and first. Get ready for some big stretches - Make sure you got that warm-up in!
