Welcome to the Pentatonic Alternate Picking Workout #1!

In this lesson, we'll focus on mastering alternate picking while playing pentatonic scale shapes across the fretboard. This workout will help you develop precision, speed, and confidence in your playing.

We'll begin by covering each pentatonic shape chromatically over the fretboard. This approach allows you to become familiar with the shapes and build a strong foundation in alternate picking. As we move through the exercise, you'll gain an understanding of how these shapes fit together and how to navigate the fretboard with ease.

Next, we'll pair up each shape with the subsequent one and move these combinations around the fretboard. This part of the workout will challenge your fretting hand dexterity and picking-hand coordination while further solidifying your knowledge of the pentatonic shapes.

By the end of this workout, you'll have a better understanding of the pentatonic scale and the skills to execute alternate picking techniques more effectively. So grab your guitar, and let's dive into the Pentatonic Alternate Picking Workout #1!
