Elixir Strings | 12 months ago
The pentatonic scale is the foundation of myriad guitar styles, from blues to funk to classic rock. It’s something we all learn early on, but it’s easy to get stuck “in the box” if you’re not careful.
One great method to expand your pentatonic horizons is to adopt what Elixir Strings artist Quentin Angus describes as the “double pentatonic” scale. As he demonstrates, the double involves taking a minor pentatonic shape and combining with the “next door” major pentatonic – which gives a cool repeating note on adjacent strings. That gives a distinctive, unusual note pattern that you can incorporate in solos and riff ideas, so work on the stretches that you’ll need to reach the notes and have fun working on some new vibes!
Explaining why he’s such a fan of Elixir Strings on his acoustic guitars, Quentin says, “I’ve been using Elixir Strings for 20+ year and nothing compares to them! The anti-rust coating makes them last, they feel great and their sound is a huge part of my tone!”
