In this lesson we spread the Pentatonic scale out over the length of the fretboard.

sooo I have a question !
I’m technically still in the beginner section of the course, but kind of scrolled along for any like “solo” stuff and this is the first lesson that popped up.
Can we move around within this or rather should we ? I’ll be honest idk what the hell im doing half of the time but I was trying to just move around within these notes given and find something cool. Is this okay or should it always be played the way you’ve showed us ? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I’ve included a video of what I came up with while just playing around learning this.

Also, as a noob I know my bends aren’t good. And is there a name for like bending and repetitively picking while holding the bend ? I thought it sounded cool but don’t know if that has a name lol. I feel lost sometimes because I just wanna play stuff that sounds good to my ear and I never know if I’m doing it “right”

With this specifically it sounds like you are citing what is a traditional blues style lick. Do me a favor and remind me to upload a video on this soon! Don't feel lost because what I think you played sounded just fine! And yes, move around the neck. It's good to practice it in different key signatures Or even in the same key signature but a different position. I thought your Bend sounded pretty good and great job on incorporating the vibrato!!

Thanks Jak !!!! Definitely would love a video about this ! I felt the urge to look at some “solo” stuff dude to Rutes forum post. I’ve never done such and thought it would be fun to try it out.
I’ve totally been working on the vibrato ! I’m so glad you noticed it lol that really makes me feel like I’m actually improving some things

You really have made massive improvements. I thought your bend was on pitch and strong!

I agree with jak. It sounded pretty good to me. You could bend it more too if you wanted to give extra tension. But no need to imo.

How's this going for you now? Are we getting a progress/update video?

It's not really an improv, I'm just going up and down the scale using this pattern here. Warning for your ears, no effects we're used. The ending was unexpected xD
