Performance Goals for the E Minor Pentatonic Scale

Quick Start for Playing Scales

Practice the E minor pentatonic scale until you can answer “yes” to the following questions:

• Are you holding the guitar correctly, using the position of your choice?
• Is your guitar tuned correctly?
• Are you playing each string accurately using a guitar pick (or your right-hand thumb or fingers)?
• Are you playing correct frets with proper left-hand fingers and form?
• Are you playing with a steady beat (without pausing), no matter how slowly you play?

When you have accomplished the performance goals for the E minor pentatonic scale, you will then be ready to complete your assignment for this lesson. Your performance assessment for the E minor pentatonic scale will be submitted later along with other performance assessments.
