As we seek to improve our solos and improvising, it's common to work on "breaking out of the box." Typically, "the box" is the minor pentatonic scale, but this could be any scale shape we often find ourselves stuck in, like the major, natural minor, or modes. The issue is just finding other scale shapes isn't the answer, like so many believe it to be. What we really need to do is focus on the music rather than relying on a shape for our note choices. This can actually be done "in the box" and give us much more musical ways to play within a single position while also greatly improving our understanding of the fretboard.

Sounds much better and more varied than playing only pentatonic boxes.

[@ZyrixDeinhardt]

Love it! Just the thing I’m needing at this stage. Appreciate your clarity and examples.

Hi, thank you! It was very interesting to hear this from you. A completely different thing, is Strandberg guitars any good or difficult to manage?

[@mathew_dale]

I love my 2 Strandbergs. Don't be too intimated by the design or neck profile. Very easy to get used to for me.

There appears to be some parts missing from your guitar dude 😂

[@mathew_dale]

Gotta pay extra for the headstock.
