Continuing our study of the Major Pentatonic Scale, here it is in the key of C, in the lowest position. This position begins on third fret of the A string.

As always, remember your basics:

⁊ Start slowly

⁊ Play it 10 times, perfectly

⁊ Increase speed slowly

Practice the scale in this position only… for now. In the next lesson, I’ll show you the same scale in a different spot on the neck.

C Major Pentatonic Scale – Low Position

I keep writing this because it’s very important: Remember, this isn’t a race. Strive for accuracy above all else. Increase your speed just two beats (per minute) at a time, playing the scale perfectly ten times in a row before adding another two beats. Learn the low position of this scale before moving to the high position. Yes, I keep writing this – because it’s important.

Practice this scale every day for one week, then review it twice a week for the rest of the month. By then, you’ll have it committed to memory for life!

Aim High – Play Low!
