    Default MY easy (and funny) way of learning Pentatonic scales...

    My friends have made lots of fun at me because of this... y'know what: i really don't care.
    My pentatonic finger landing has improved so much after this.
    Buddies say that my guitar now looks like a guitar-hero Parker version.
    On the downside... it's not a good idea to do bends on this fretboard.

    Without further ado... I present you my Pentatonic Scale Learning Parker Guitar:

    Gretsch Corvette
    Parker P-38
    Yamaha APX500
    Vox Pathfinder 15R
    Vox Tonelab ST
    Blackheart LG
    ... That's it.

    Pretty funny. What are the codes for? I wasn't able to figure it out from first glance.

    Oh, I agree! Roy was one of the most tallented guitar players ever. If it had strings, he could play it, and well.
    Was just talking about the Big Note Book.

    Oh, I know.. I just wanted to post that video of Roy thrashing on his acoustic. I grew up watching re-runs of Hee-Haw. Him and Buck Owens, and some small town... Salute.. ;-)

    That reminds me of a Fretlight guitar I had many years ago
    A cool concept
    I wish I hadn't sold it

    That's a crazy method my friend. Good luck with it.

    I have one,and it actually plays nice,since it had that composite fingerboard I got one with stainless frets.I need to dedicate a laptop to it so I use it more.Bummer is you still need to learn the notes else where,but it does scales and songs great.Sumi

    The Fretlight I had years ago in the early 90's had red led's at every note on the rosewood fretboard. The guitar was Strat like and the led's were powered up with a wall wart. The guitar could also function as a regular electric
    It had a few extra knobs on it that allowed you to pick a key, and then select notes, chords, or various scales. So if you wanted to know an a minor diminished chord, set the dials and all the notes for each voicing of that chord along the fretboard would light up. Want to know a b flat pentatonic scale? Just set the dials. I'm sure now they are far more sophisticated with computer interface, etc.
