Unlock Your Guitar Solo Potential With The Octave Technique

Everyone who wants to solo on the guitar learns the 'most famous of all' scale shapes: the minor pentatonic shape. It's a great scale because it sounds fantastic, is easy to play, and allows you to sound like you're improvising right away. What many people do not know is how to progress beyond the first shape they learn.

There is a very simple technique that can take your solos to the next level: the Octave technique. The guitar is built in such a way that whatever you play in one octave, you can easily reproduce in a higher or lower octave, almost in the exact same way.

Learn this concept, and you'll have endless possibilities for your guitar playing right at your fingertips.
