MINOR PENTATONIC Exercises w/ FRANK ZAPPA Magic Fingers GUITAR LESSON

Learn the riffs and chords from Frank Zappa's Magic Fingers and how the main riff comes right out of a Pentatonic Minor exercises handbook, but of course with a unique Zappa twist to it.

So many classic riffs come from the Pentatonic Minor and Pent Min b5 Blues Scales.
Practicing sets of 3s and 4s up and down the neck has proven to be very helpful for me over the years.

Give it a shot!
Let me what other songs you have found that come from that scale.

Sunshine of Your Love by Cream is one example.
A quick example in the lesson is Whipping Post by The Allman Brothers.
