Minor Pentatonic String Skipping Part 1

The Pentatonic scale places two notes on each of the six strings so it’s easy to create string-skipping patterns. This first example works on the easiest string skip which is simply to skip one string. Start slowly with this exercise and stick to the picking directions and fingering notated in the tab. Dialling in an accurate technique at the slower tempos is the key to playing these examples at performance tempo.
