The trick here is to be aware of what intervals you are using so they aren't just fretboard shapes you use without knowing why.
I have a music theory book that described intervals as playing two notes within a scale at the same time. So if you play the root and the third note in the major scale at the same time it is a major third interval. If you play the third note in the major scale but flat and the root its a minor third interval. etc. Is this definition correct?
I taught myself to memorize all 5 pentatonic shapes and memorize the major scale patterns within the pentatonics or should I say the pentatonics that are within the major scales?
What I'm looking to do is spice things up by playing two notes at a time rather than having my solos just be singular notes throughout.
