Finger exercises to build strength, coordination, and clean fretting from the first session.
Minor Pentatonic Foundations
Learn all five minor-pentatonic positions while turning movable power, minor-barre, and major-barre chords into native natural-minor progressions and solo practice.
Each stage centers one musical target. Its activities stay grouped together so the course reads as a path through the fretboard, not a list of disconnected drills.

Stage path
Minor Pentatonic stays tonic-centered while each stage introduces the next of its five standard positions and applies it over natural-minor diatonic harmony with power and barre chords.
Establish Minor Pentatonic Position 1, then connect its tonic root to movable i power and minor-barre shapes.

Map Position 1 with three practical sequence patterns.
Connect a Position 1 scale tone to practical sixth-string chord shapes.
Jam practice turns scale, arpeggio, and chord work into soloing ideas over a groove.
Add Position 2 around VII, introduce the movable major barre, and connect the whole-step-below chord back to tonic minor.

Finger exercises to build strength, coordination, and clean fretting from the first session.
Start in Position 2, then connect the earlier boxes with three sequence patterns.
Connect a Position 2 scale tone to practical sixth-string chord shapes.
Progression practice builds rhythmic chord changes and common song movement through real chord sequences.
Jam practice turns scale, arpeggio, and chord work into soloing ideas over a groove.
Add Position 3 around the native minor v, preserving natural-minor harmony while building motion back to i.
