t's unlikely that many would disagree with the notion that Pentatonic scales are the guitarist's best friend. Used in every genre of music and countless songs of the past 70 odd years, it really is as versatile as it is valuable. Its handy two-notes-per-string layout and uncomplicated musical application has made it the perfect choice. Whether it's Jimmy Page crafting riffs, Gary Moore blazing or Eric Johnson improvising over vast instrumentals, the Pentatonic is there as a foundation, the main ingredient, and the secure footing for great players.
