Roadmap from Pentatonic to…
If you can already play pentatonic scales and improvise over blues or rock — you’re not a beginner anymore.
But you might feel like you’ve hit a ceiling.
Here’s what the next stage of your playing actually looks like:
First, CAGED. Not just the shapes — understanding how the entire neck is one connected system, not five separate boxes.
Then intervals. This is where it gets interesting. You stop thinking in patterns and start hearing — really hearing — the relationship between notes. Theory becomes instinct.
Then three-note-per-string patterns (TNPS). Now that your ears understand why the notes work, TNPS gives you the physical fluency to reach them anywhere on the neck.
And after that? You start making genuine musical choices. Not “what scale am I in” but “what note do I want, and why.”
That’s the journey I take intermediate players on.
I’ve done it with students who came in as rock guitarists and left playing jazz.
If that sounds like where you want to go — send me a DM. Let’s talk.
