In this video
We take a look at the main solo from the AC/DC classic - Back In Black!
This is an advanced level solo based on the E minor pentatonic scale. It is a perfect example of how to move between all 5 Minor Pentatonic Positions (it does also touch on the Blues scale and Mixolydian Mode too). Learning all 5 pentatonic shapes is an essential component of advanced guitar playing, whatever the genre.
Therefore, I have also included an exclusive video below, which teaches all 5 positions. This is from Lead Guitar 3, which is the 3rd course in my premium lead guitar online syllabus, available now exclusively to AAA members. The premium lesson includes interactive tab for this video - and there's a link to that below too - I hope it helps!
E minor pentatonic scale - all 5 shapes
Each colour indicates a different shape. Notice the repetition of the same shape with the same notes but an octave higher on the neck!
Blue = position 1. Light blue = position 2. Green = position 3. Orange = position 4. Red = position 5
