Here's a concept I use all the time that as an added benefit can help you to link up the pentatonic shapes across the neck.

Get my PADs bundle here: www.paypal.com... (this folder will grow, and I'd encourage you to ask for different keys/songs and stuff that might suit this type of preset?)
I've decided to make it possible to grab both my Helix/HX Stomp bundles (the expression bundle with freeze presets has always been separate) together - www.paypal.com... - I will then email you a link to both bundles!
Try my general patches for Helix or HX Stomp in this bundle using this link - I will then send out the patches! www.paypal.com...

When scrolling YT I first read this as “to Massacre the Pentatonic” and I thought “Finally! A lesson at my level!”
I'm laughing aloud, thank you 😊
😂
Dead 💀😆
I just did this for about 20 minutes and already feel more comfortable around the neck. Dude knows what he's talkin about yall
Awesome! - I'm going to pentatonic the crap out of my fingers when I get home
you right bro pentatonicthose finger🤣🤣
How do you only have 130k subs?! Your stuff is a gold mine for people just starting to wrap their heads around the fretboard.
Holy fuck your intro solo's are absolute mustard. I'd happily part with money to have a CD full of your intros I can crank in the car.
This video just reaffirms my conviction that you are one of the tastiest players out there. No tones jokes because you made it sound beautiful with just your hands acoustically. beautiful accident
I stopped playing my Ibanez SEW a couple of weeks ago and picked up my really cheap Jet JT 350 which is really great for the money, rediscovered the minor pentatonic by playing sextuplets as you have been doing in this video. Anyway, changed the strings in the Ibanez and wow!!! I have spent the last hours shredding 2nd pentatonics and the sound out of the dimarzio tone zone humbucker is just insane. What a difference a fresh set of strings make. With my newfound shred plus this video, I can start reacting with intent again 😊
I personally really like that you stay with pentatonic lessons in you vids… there’s something magical about the pentatonic scale… and honestly I think we haven’t even scratched the surface of what’s possible with it. Please don’t do jazz vids or anything else… the whole reason I come to this channel is for pentatonic information. It’s priceless!!
When you have absolute mastery of Pentatonic scale u get Eric Johnson pentatonic scale is just 5 notes Whether you are learning jazz solos or studying the music of the Middle Ages, you'll be sure to come across this five-note scale in your journey. It's all about note choices and phrasing neosoul, rock, pop every genre of music uses this scale so if you want to learn what's possible with this scale u need to learn about every genre of music jazz included. Take 3 notes from pentatonic scale now using different rhythm and technique I can make those 3 notes sounds jazzy or prog, rock pop etc.
He's not really using pentatonic scale he's using hexatonic scale that is pentatonic plus one extra note honestly u can't really play much using only pentatonic scale it's all about adding notes u add flat 5 it becomes blues scale u raise 5th it becomes harmonic minor so basically we not only scratched but digged very deep
Thanks!
Been stuck and uninspired for a while, your videos really got me practicing again!
Awesome video with great tips, great playing, no fluff, and no contrived persona! One of my favorite guitar channels! Thanks John!
John, you have many many many great Pentatonix lessons on your channel for whatever reason this one I could really connect to as I could readily understand how to practice it and apply it thank you
Ah yes, it's all coming together now!! Great Lesson!!
I like your skill and very nice.
Beautiful ❤
Love your playing and phrasing. Great information.
Did not expect that aggression on the solo. Very cool and very melodic. I will give this lesson a try.
Beautiful sir 💜️💛
Always well done John…..the lessons are approachable and well thought out…..keep doing it….also I am always mesmerized by your beautiful playing….
Great video
You’re a great teacher. Thank you for the content. Just one of your videos unlocked a rut I’ve been in and propelled my playing up a notch. I’m sure this one will do the same
Thanks for this suggestion, I've found as I'm starting out that many of the scale patterns don't lend themselves to very practical lines that can get you to "the flow" very easily without really thinking about it intently. Really enjoying your content so far. Will stick around for more!
Lovin the lessons. Your pentatonic lessons have transformed my playing
Very interesting !! I know the 5 patterns slowly and have tried linking them together but I hadn't thought of the 6 note patterns before.
Great video!
Fantastic thanks
Awesome John ! Thank you !
Thank you! After this, then I'll try to go the Eric Johnson / John Bonnamassa stuff later. This is much more applicable and feels natural to me, group of even notes.
Just perfect... more of this kind of stuff please.
Great Lesson! Thank you very much!
A great practice to get out of the box and navigate to other areas of the fretboard. It doesn't sound so 'robotic' with this type of approach. 👍
Definitely useful. ty
Great lesson and very well communicated!
This came at just the right time. Thank you, Johnathan.
This is such a useful video to play faster...
Awesome as usual John! 6 note focus... interesting Rick Beato just posted a video where he unpacked the hexaphonic scale.

Really liking the mix and match. I’ve been ascending and descending horizontally on 2 strings and 3 strings as well
Damn dude. You have been woodshedding the ascending sixes. That's my kryptonite. And ascending twos.
Another great pentatonic video giving us more insight into your amazing style. Thanks John!
Great video, I often look for a different way to practice and use pentatonic scales. I’m going to have to try this, this evening when I’m practicing.
Live, I use the tap tempo on the fractal scribble strip to tell me the bpm, so I'll know my fastest clean subdivision
Good job 🎉
That’s awesome! Thanks John, I’m going to be working on this tomorrow!
Thanks, John. It's always appreciated.
Wonderful!
Que bueno!!!!! Excelente! Muchas gracias!
really good tip!!!
Excellent video! As usual! Top class, mate! Cheers 😊
Thank you for posting this - I'm definitely going to try working on this exercise.
Just bought a Schecter Nick Johnston after watching your video. I wasnt shure between the Sire S7 and the Schecter
Good stuff, JNC. It's interesting that even with the fast pentatonics the coolest part of the opening jam was the E ringing against the F# at 1:33.
Very cool! This is going straight into my practice routine.
How did I know that Cordy was about to make the pentatonic scale sound fresh and exotic.
Great lesson. Ideas I’ve practiced for years. I was reading through the Coltrane Omni book and noticed quintuplets (5 evenly spaced notes per beat) written on some of the crazier passages. The 5 note groupings add another level to the triplet and 16th versions of this exercise. Try going triplet, 16th, 5tuplet, 6tuplet against a metronome. Fun stuff.
Maybe one day he will do a Slide guitar lesson, he does so many things well. perhaps a Country shuffle style? Well done John, Nice opening once again.
Thanks for the great lesson, Just Joined BTW.. 🤘🙃🤙
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
Soo helpfull!!👍🎶thanks
Channeling Steve Morse on those fast overlapping sequential (for lack of a better term……there must be a real name for it) runs
Saw this on Mateus Asato new Instagram Group recently!
Fantastic lesson, John! Very useful and it fits some of your previous tips. Putting it all together!
Finally. Something I can do.
Hi John, how are you?
please, I have a GT-1000 and I downloaded your presets through the site, however, my tone was not even similar to yours, even using a Fender tele.
You could share the presets you made on the GT-1000, such as imput level, global equalizer, whether it has stereo output or not, it would be of great help, because its tone is killer and I would like to be able to use it. I am very grateful for your attention.
Great embrace!
Hi jhon you have a video titled "this exercise tranformed my playing" and i was wondering if that exercise is based on the 3nps major scale?
I'm waiting for a test of processors from Valeton: Gp200/LT🤟
I purchased your fractal presets, is this one of them and if so which one? Thank you
Backing track please!
Thanks for the video! As always, great! I think the reverb troughs you off tempo (with the metronome)
Kinda boring. ,😔
