Course Description

PURE PENTATONIC POWER - UDEMY BESTSELLER


— Are you stuck in that one Pentatonic box on the guitar? Is it comfortable because you feel safe there?

​

— Playing the same old licks with little to no inspiration?

​

— Would you like to free yourself and use the entire guitar neck?

​

— Think how much happier you'd be understanding the patterns' licks and tricks of the 'Guitar Greats'.


— Do you think a slow, detailed and structured approach would be better than flying blind?


— Are you a Rock, Blues, Metal, Funk, Jazz or Pop fan?

​

— Could you benefit from the security of Jam Tracks that have 3 different speed


This Bestselling Course includes re-shot HD Video with twin camera angles, tab on screen and printable, professional quality audio, multi speed jam tracks and a new bonus section. Pure Pentatonic Power is a series of digestible guitar lessons designed to take the stress out of learning scales. It aims to help you and use them to construct guitar solos. It is gently paced and well structured,  first teaching all the shapes for Pentatonic and Blues Scales, and then applying them to 5 Rock/Blues guitar Jam tracks in different keys.


The course has 18 licks or mini guitar solos.  The licks are huge and can be broken down into many little phrases to use independently . Over two hours of HD video is used to break down each guitar lick slowly after a full speed demo,  a PDF Tab file is also supplied. There is no mystery or guess work involved and all the licks, tricks and secrets of the guitar greats are taught in these guitar lessons.


Designed by analysing many great guitarists from the Rock and Blues genres, Pure Pentatonic Power was created by taking their most important phrases, patterns, techniques used with the Pentatonic and Blues Scales and applying them all over the guitar neck in different positions. Whilst staying true to what i would call the "favourite" positions and licks of all your guitar heroes. I have of course added my own experience of being a guitarist and teacher of over 25 years to the licks too!

By Scott Padbury on 9/23/2020

So far this has been one fun course I have tried besides learning new things. It made my hands sore I played so much. In a good way though. I enjoyed it so much I bought 2 other courses of yours. I hope you do a course on 80's rock hard rock. Thanks.

By Sergioo Flores on 9/5/2020

Awesome course!!!, as a beginner learning experience. Everything I expected. It's been super helpful in my "learning to play blues on guitar" journey. Thanks a lot Julian!!!

By Shay on 8/27/2020

I learned a lot. The explanations and resources are very good.

By Andrew Cooke on 8/15/2020

This is a really great course for semi-beginners or more intermediate players to learn the key blues styles and pick up 20 or so different practice licks along the way.

By Vibhav Roy on 8/15/2020

I have the following questions at the end of it. Why is the A minor scales called the A minor scale, when it starts with A and does not have a G# or a Ab note. How to traverse between the shapes?? I noticed the instructor move between the shapes in the Lecture 3 part 2. Need advise on that. I will put in personal practice and google more about it. But these factors should be included.

By Gary Bonnar on 8/10/2020

I thought it was for a relative newcomer, but it is very advanced unless I am missing something?
Even the pdf's are confusing me.

By Larry W. Hill on 8/8/2020

Love it so far
