Pentatonic Practice

Parallel Placement

Goal · Shape memorization

Stay anchored in one spot. Every shape starts on the same low-E fret, so the key drifts — and that's fine. Just burn in the fingerings.

  • Play the shape ascending, then descending, in time with the click.
  • Keep the first low-E note identical for every shape.
  • When a shape feels automatic, advance to the next one.
