THE (best) PENTATONIC GUITAR EXERCISE

This is my favorite pentatonic exercise to unlock the fretboard. We start with the five A minor pentatonic positions, then break the boxes by moving on one string (B string) so you hear the music/color, not just shapes. Use an A drone to lock pitch and try slides with the 4th finger or alternate picking to clean up the line. Hugs!
