How To Break Out Of The Pentatonic Box For Good

In this lesson: — Playing the scale on a single string reveals the intervals as they actually exist — not as finger patterns but as sounds with real musical meaning — Seeing the guitar horizontally breaks your reliance on box positions and opens up the entire neck — Hearing each note against the chord trains your ear to make musical choices instead of mechanical ones — No fingering clichés means no phrasing clichés — you're forced to play music not patterns

Chord Secrets of The Pros

From the comments:

This triads and inversion thing seems like basic stuff maybe, if just looking at it as simple triad and inversions, but in the end this is so useful on so many levels for playing and creating music on guitar.
