Recently I have been looking at scales to use to easily improvise over songs. By far the most renowned and easiest to master is the pentatonic minor scale. This scale is made up of 5 notes (hence pentatonic) consisting of the solfa "la do re mi so la." These notes correspond to the root, minor third (b3), fourth (4), fifth (5), and minor seventh (b7) of the minor scale. But this information is mostly unnecessary for guitar, and it’s much simpler to learn the shape of the scale first. The pentatonic minor scale can be played in five positions across the fretboard, each corresponding to a different starting note (but containing the same scale notes). These positions allow smooth transitions and variety in improvisation. The image attached shows the 5 positions of the A pentatonic minor scale. BUT if you want to play any other pentatonic minor scale (e.g., C pent minor), you just move your root note in the first position to the desired scale. This was a brief explanation, so if you want more, I suggest this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBEwqZSTu2s. And once you learn the first position, you can learn the next 4 positions using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVzYUUHRaRw What do you think?

This community is still ugly, as you can see. I need your suggestions to make it better so more people can join and enjoy. One way to make this happen is make courses. My question to you is what course would you have wanted if you were a beginner guitarist? What would it include? Also, what else do you want in a community? I really need your suggestions to make this place good.

When you join, first thing to do is introduce yourself. In the comments bellow write a couple things about yourself like your name, what city you are from, what kind of guitar you play (classical, acoustic, electric etc), how long you have been playing for and what goals you have for guitar in the future.
