Then work through the Rock 1 & 2 courses.[br][br]https://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=2[br]https://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=rock1[br]https://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=rock2[br][br]Those will teach you the skills & ideas you will need to play songs & write your own! And since they are structured, guided courses they will help you stay focused.[br][br]After that just ask & we can point you in the right direction![br][QUOTE=Mygibby72][br]I know the 5 pentatonic shapes but don't know how to use them.[br]
