indeed.


as for the question of making a pentatonic sound rock and roll, id get a book on rock licks for starters. second of all, its speed and economy picking. find interesting ways to play the same old lick. for instance, instead of just doing this: ---------------
----------5-------
----5--7----------
--7---------------
------------------
-----------------

think like a percussionist and put an interesting rythym in it, like this:
--------------
---------------5---
---555--5--5-7------
-7-----7--7--------
---------------
---------------

okay, maybe that looks confusing, but basically just cram some damn notes in there and end up on tempo when you come out of the measure. thats a good "technique" to keep in mind when floating over rythyms.
