FREE, 40-Page, E-Book: "How To Solo With Pentatonic Scales"

Hey folks,

When I sent out my "What do you want to learn?" letter last month, I got soooooo many questions about scales. And because Pentatonic scales are probably the most popular (and the easiest to learn to use quickly) I thought I would just GIVE all my subscribers a copy of my book.

Keep in mind taht this is just 1 of 10 books that come with my guitar-course (not to mention the 4-hours of video, 3.5 hours of video-tutorials and the well over 100 audio files of real guitar examples).

Anyway, there are only two conditions for downloading the book:
  1. You must promise to actually use it!
  2. Please take a minute to give me your honest feedback here on the blog about the book. (Just scroll down and click the "comments" link below.)
If you find it helpful, then say so. If you don't, I want to know why. And if you find a mistake, show me. (Actually there is at least 1 error that I know of already... can you find it?)

Now, some "gurus" wouldn't admit they have errors in their books. But I feel like it's better to let you know up-front that I'm not perfect (not even close). At least that way you know that I'm human, too!

Instructions for downloading the book:

Right-click on the blue-link below and choose "Save Target As..." to save a copy of the book to your hard drive. (Choose "Save Link As..." if your using FireFox).

How To Solo With Pentatonic Scales

You must have Adobe 7.0 or higher to open the book. You can download it free here.

All the best... and don't forget to leave your comments!


Dan Denley

P.S. A lot of people have been asking about the new course coming out June 1, 2006. They want to konw what's new, what's different, what's the cost, etc. But there are still many things that have to be worked out before I can give out those details.

So, I've set up an easy way for people to make sure they don't miss out. You can become one of my "insiders" and you'll get priority-notification when I release the details about the new course. There is no cost to become an "insider" and you're guaranteed to get "first-notice" about all the details (including the special bonuses available during the first week of June).

Here's the link:

  • Hey guys (and gals) I just wanted to say, "Thanks!" to everybody for writing me last month.

    I couldn't believe I had 680 replies to my letter! There were some great questions and I hope I can answer the majority of them in my new course AND in future newsletters over the next few weeks.

    Thanks again and I look forward to reading your comments!

  • I have been playing gutar for about a year. And I've never taken lessons in my whole life. But I didn't find your book to be helpful at all. I already knew all of this stuff. You can find it on the internet if you know where to look. I know all the scales and understand how it all works. My problem is that I suck at soloing.

    I'm sorry.

  • Hi Dan. Thanks for the ebook on scales. I'm 71 years young and a pensioner and into playing and singing country stuff. My wife (plays simple Bass Guitar) and I, do a bit of entertaining in Country music clubs around the area and in Nursing homes where people cannot get out and about. I've only ever been into open chord stuff, but would love to be able to do a bit of soloing such as lead breaks etc. My main problem is my fingers just don't seem to go where I want them to. Hope I can pick up a few tips from this download which has only just completed. Once again a big thank you. Best wishes. Jim Lee. Australia.

  • Dear Dan,

    Thanks a lot for the e-book as I am sure it will help me in learning about scales and soloing techniques. The other thing I wanted to learn about is the "Caged System" which I have heard of, but have no idea about. I am a 31 yo male, and play the guitar as a hobby but would love to be able to perform. It was a childhood dream to play guitar and being a lefty I had a lot of trouble in finding a left handed guitar in India. I have recently imported a Kramer "striker" guitar and have now started practising and playing on it. it has two dual rail pick ups, one quadrail pick up (all humbuckers), with a floyd rose locking tremolo and a two tap tone switch with 5 way selecter. I am between jobs at the moment and thus unable to purchase your course. I am sure I will take it as soon as I have a new job. Thanks for helping out.

    I just finished making some new recordings -- jam tracks -- to go along with the book. That way, I can be your rhythm guitarist while you solo!

    I'm going to send out link (via email) later today to download those.

    Keep your eyes open!

    I just read your comment...

    "priority nonfiction"

    LOL!

    Well, ok now I know of at least two mistakes in the book.

    Actually, it should say, "priority notification."

    That's my "insiders" group (people who want to make double sure they get all the details about the new course coming out June 1).

    Anyway, here's the link if you want to join that group:

  • I just now downloaded the book and took a look at the Pentatonic Major scale. I could be wrong, but there seems to be a mistake in the Tab for the C scale on page 5. You have the F natural tabbed as the 4th fret of the D string. Shouldn't that be the 3rd fret?

    I'll keep reading, I think this is a valuabe reference and I thank you for making it freely available.

  • Hi Dan,
    Just a quick not to say thanks for the e-book. I'm certainly moving faster around the fret board and learning these scales much more easliy.
    Thanks again, quality mate.

  • Comment on downloading the Pentatonic ---

    Thankyou for keeping it simple / straight. So many authors forget the level of training/experience etc. they are targeting and make it so overblown that the people they are trying to reach
    get lost after the first page. Thanks for remembering the student's mind and writing simple clear and straight forward!!

  • This book is good for an absolute beginner to the pentatonic scales and soloing, otherwise the information is pretty obvious. I'm sorry but I have to say that I didn't really find much of the information useful to me, although that may be because I have been playing for many years.

  • I think you might want to go over your book thing, because um... since when is there an F# in the C Major scale? but yeah, I don't think many beginners are able to read the music and so they'll be playing it wrong if they follow the tab.

  • The book that i downloaded from the internet is a very clearly formatted document. It explains the theoretical side of the scales in a clear simple to understand way and presents the different scale shapes clearly also. A begginer guitarist would definately benefit from the knowledge of the scales expressed within the book.

    You gave a total of 9 chord proggressions to solo over and their appropriate scale. I think a student using your book would benefit from an accompanying CD so there is less trouble involved with using this information. I also believe you might have improved the book with a couple of examples of solos tab-ed out.

    Also the repeated Where the Rubber meets the Road pages didn't really need to be included although they did divide the book into sections- repeating the same information could seem a little tacky.

    I believe the book teaches the scale theory and positions well but should include more musical examples and play along examples.

    However, my response should not be interpreted as a negative one! this book really does de-mystify the world of pentatonic scales and put it into some context. You have done a great job of communicating the material within the book and i am very impressed. The suggestions above are purely through a want to be helpful and encouraging.

  • Really cool thing you're doing here,really great thing for guitar too.Most books cost on this cost 10+.I already knew the pentatonic scales but wanted to see if you had any tips.I found your mistake too,it had to do with the blues scales.In one section,you left out the 2nd flatted fifth in the scale and in another you included these "blue notes" in a scale which you said was a pentatonic(I know that it's a variation,but wanted to let u kno).Overall I was really pleased with your FREE lesson.Please continue to put out more of these

However I'm glad I took the plunge because as promised the book was 100% free and I received it almost instantly. Glancing through it for the first time, there is a ton of material here that I know will raise my playing ability for the better. Thanks for putting out this free lesson, knowledge like this should be shared with everyone for no price! Thanks again, I'm gonna go play now!

But for the pentatonic scales which a friend of mine told me to check out if i wanted to write good riffs i thouht that the book wasnt to bad!

  • A great service to absolute beginers, but a few ideas such as 'major pentatonic off the flat 7 of a dominant chord' and 'up a 5th, and up a 5th again' ( eg. bmin and f# min,&/or blues scales over e minor chord) would be helpful to someone progresing a bit.
    I gues that comes in your follow up books though.
    Cheers Steve.

  • HI DAN,
    GLAD YOUR E-BOOK INCLUDES STANDARD NOTATION.
    AS I USE 4 STRINGS FOR GUITAR AND 3 STRINGS FOR BASS IN NON-STANDARD TUNING ON MY 7-STRING, TAB IS USELESS FOR ME UNTIL I HAVE TIME TO TRANSPOSE IT.
    FORMS ARE EASIER AND LESS TIME CONSUMING TO TRANSPOSE.
    I WILL DEFINITELY WORK THIS MATERIAL INTO MY PRACTICE SCHEDUAL.

  • Dan,
    Your C Major scale (in the first TAB example) has a raised 4th (F#) that is not a member of the key of C. But, it would work nicely as a scale based on the fourth of a G Major scale, or the sixth of a natural E minor scale!

    I look forward to perusing and using the "How To Solo With Pentatonic Scales" e-book which I just downloaded from the website. Certainly, at first glance, it appears that it will be both interesting and helpful. I found the mistake in the first example C major scale as cited by the previous poster but it doesn't diminish the quality or effort that had to be put in such a work. Criticism is easy, doing the work is hard. Thanks.

Grabbed your stuff as info to work from, once I get through it, later on, most likely will grant you another "Thanks!" and perhaps say this/that- guess others better versed will have the type of comments you could actually use. Going to keep along with your site/blog, thanks Dan!

    Thank you for the extras and email notes for more lessons. I have tended to get more from the short lessons that you have emailed than the big course causr I never seem to have time to drag out the big book and dvds. It has been help ful and I plan to work more on these lessons. Thank you for the reminders.

  • (Actually there is at least 1 error that I know of already... can you find it?)
    In the Intro, fourth paragraph down,
    first sentence:
    "You will do yourself a great service BUT doing some serious study of...."
    instead of "BY" doing. :D
    Is that one?

    Anyway I figure any information would help me at this point because I am new to playing the guitar. I am a cancer patient, so my practice time is stunted often by treatments or the neuropathic pain in my fingertips from chemo, but I figure I love to play so much that some finger pain is worth it. I'm sure you'd agree. Thank you so much for the booklet, I know it will help.

    2 4
    12 4
    1 34
    1 34
    2 4
    12
    right now. Maybe I'll learn minor next, then pentatonics, then blues. You've got great information, and a lot of it. I like your enthusiasm and optimism. I'm just slow, that's all. Good job!

  • I found two errors in the first seven pages.
    There just typeo's I'm sure but in the fourth paragraph the word 'but' should have been the word 'by'.
    Also on page 7 in the 'A pentatonic blues scale', you list both the flated 5th along with the 5th in the scale.
    I am sure like I said that these are just typeo's and not the ones you refered to but here is an FYI.

It looks like you have taken a one brick at a time approach, that is to say, learn one thing and build upon what you have learned. I know that is the basic way of teaching but it appears that you have developed a program that makes these principles easy to understand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    That can be helpful.
    There are some minor mistakes and typing errors.
    You should whatch out for those in the future
    Otherwise, it's not bad at all.
    Keep up the good work

That really muddys the waters of 'hearing' what's going on, imo...

  • Wow. Hey, thanks for all your awesome comments. I can't tell you how much I appreciate them! You guys (and gals) are so kind...

    I did want to acknowledge that there is a MISTAKE in the book.

    One of my students noticed it and I want to make a correction:

    Pg. 5 of 40 there is a C major scale. The notation is correct: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. But the corresponding tab is INCORRECT. It contains an F#. And there is no F# in C major. So the tab should read 3, 5 on the A string, 2, 3, 5 on the D string (NOT 2, 4, 5), and 2, 4, 5, on the G string.

    Just wanted to clarify that. I'm going to try to make this change and upload a new version.

    All the best!

    people, But it not so. I have simply caught a virus on the Internet and it has strongly

    damaged of my computer and has broken my software so I was thrown out from a normal rhythm of

    life. And if to take into account, that I make arrangements to order people I had to throw all

    affairs and to be engaged only in restoration of a computer.
    But now I have restored all from programs, I would like to ask you - on a site the

    lessons are submitted in format Flash Player. How it is possible to keep these lessons on my

    computer because I use modem connection for the Internet and loading of each page with lessons

    occupies approximately 45 minutes?

    I have forgotten the password, can send it to me again

  • Hi Dan,

    What I find in your e-book is understanding and knowledge about guitar related issues, details that are relevant/pertinent toward my interest in becoming more proficient at playing an instrument that I have been a student of for two year now. As a busy professional, like everyone, I don't have a lot of time to chaze information related to Guitar techniques. You have simplified my life ! You break those informations down "to bite size chewable bits" methodology approach to learning new or better guitar techniques and skills. And I really thank you for that.
    God bless you.

  • Hi Dan, I think you should have pointed out for example an A major penatonic scale is actually the same scale as F#minor penatonic scale depending where you start. Also I think you should have named the fret where each scale starts. I read music on the whole fret board so I can figure it out. I don't like the tab method but for non readers it is OK.I think also you should have given the major scales because all the minor penatonic and the major scales and relative penatonic scales can run into each other all the way up the fret board.

    This book, i think, is sooooo simple to use and it has tab AND notes. I think its soooo hard to find both of those in one spot. This e-book even helped me read another scales book i already bought. Thnx lots.

  • Hey Dan!
    Thanks for the e-book. I've seen many other lessons before that just teach the scales, but not so much on how to use them. I applaud you for showing how these scales can be practically used. Would have liked the e-book better if you took it a step further and showed how to figure out what chord progressions sound best under a solo based on a certain scale. In my soloing, I have found that I sound best if I try not to think so much about what I'm doing and just let the unconscious mind take over and just play. I suck when I start thinking and worrying about if I'm correctly using my theory knowlege just right. I've heard that scales are just the backbone of a solo and it's ok to deviate from established patterns. I wish more lessons would emphasize that.

    By Ted E., at March 29, 2007  

  • Hey Dan,

    Thanx for the e-book. Its useful enough, but wished you could have showed how to use those scales. If you can show us (with a short video) sometime, It'll be fucking awesome *_* I appreciate you man.

  • Hey Dan
    The book was interesting but I found that I already knew a lot of the the movable scales through other books I've bought in the past. I think you would get a lot more people interested in your course if you add video to show how to actually play the execises.
    "See and hear" is a philosphy that goes a long way in learning to play an instrument and it shortens the learning curve.
