I would first focus on the intro, the guitar that starts on E and climbs up the major pentatonic scale. See the guitar tabs below. There's certainly more going on in the song, but if you get a copy of the official tab you should be able to analyze the different guitar parts and identify what falls in the <a class="postlink" href="http&#58;//guitar-music-theory&#46;com/pentatonic-dvd&#46;html">pentatonic patterns</a>. The Allman Brothers Band uses TONS of pentatonic lead guitar solos. Sometimes there's a bit of major scale patterns mixed in too, but still in typical pentatonic boxes. They follow all the scale <a class="postlink" href="http&#58;//guitar-music-theory&#46;com/fretboard-theory&#46;html">theory I teach in my guitar book</a>.<br /> <br /> <a class="postlink" href="http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=DEC5s3nzVzo">Listen to Blue Sky by The Allman Brothers Band</a><br /> <br /> <p><code><br /> E Major Pentatonic Scale Patterns 5, 1, 2<br /> |E--------------------------------------|-----------------------------<br /> |B--------------------------------12-14-|-14b(17)--14-----------------<br /> |G--------------------9----11/13--------|---------------13\11--9------<br /> |D-------------9-11---------------------|-----------------------------<br /> |A---7---9/11---------------------------|-----------------------------<br /> |E--------------------------------------|-----------------------------</code></p> http://guitar-music-theory.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=50#post-79 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 23:24:40 +0000 Anonymous 79@http://guitar-music-theory.com/bbpress/ In the Pentatonic Scale Chapter in Fretboard Theory, Blue Sky's intro and solo are suggested to learn. I bought this tab of the song off the internet and found that there were four different guitar's in the song, two of which switch off soloing midway throughout the 4 minute solo. Should I learn both solos (both seem to be based off the pentatonic scale) or a specific one?<br /> <br /> I want to try to completely <strong>master</strong> the pentatonic scale, and learning both solos would take significantly longer.<br /> <br /> By the way, great job on the book Desi, my guitar-playing is vastly improving from working on what you recommend in the book.
