The One Scale That Fixes 95% of Your Guitar Problems

Maybe you’ve heard about the pentatonic scale… or maybe you even know all the 5 shapes already. But do you still experience any of these? 

  • You get lost when trying to move across the neck
  • You feel stuck in the same few shapes or spots on the neck
  • You struggle to improvise freely and creatively 
  • You’re not sure when to use the major vs minor pentatonic scale
  • You can’t easily play a scale in all keys without feeling lost
I’m happy to share that the pentatonic scale is the solution to ALL of these problems.

If you learn it the right way. 

What Happens When You Actually Master the Pentatonic Scale

The pentatonic scale seems simple enough, only 5 shapes. But here’s the interesting thing:

  • Easily improvise across the whole fretboard
  • Play in any key without feeling lost

What You’ll Learn

Master the Pentatonic Scale is designed to give you all the steps you need to play the pentatonic scale freely across the whole neck. Open the dropdown boxes for more details. 
Section 1: How to Play It

This section shows you how to actually play the 5 shapes of the pentatonic scale. If you already know them, this will be some repetition for you. But in the final lesson of this section, you’ll be introduced to anchoring. This is by far the most effective way to connect the shapes I’ve ever used. Anchoring is what I use daily.

Lessons:

  • Introduction
  • Shape 1
  • Shape 2
  • Shape 3
  • Shape 4
  • Shape 5
  • Anchoring: Connect All Shapes
Section 2: When to Use It

Simple guidelines for when to actually use the scale. The good news is that you can use the pentatonic scale in 95% of situations. We’ll also look at the difference between the minor and major pentatonic, a simple concept that confuses a lot of people.


Lessons:

  • Find the Key of a Song
  • Challenge Solution
  • Pick the Right Scale (Minor VS Major Pentatonic)
  • Challenge Solution
Section 3: Break Out of the Box

This is where it starts to get really exciting. In this section, we connect all the shapes in the most effective way possible with anchoring. This is surprisingly easy, but that’s also why it works so incredibly well.


Lessons:

  • Anchoring: Low E String
  • Anchoring: A String
  • Connecting Anchors
  • Anchoring: D String

I’m enjoying the shorter focused lessons of Play with a Plan. They keep me motivated and wanting to continue. I’m beginning to see the benefits. Simen’s relaxed teaching style and the structured Success Path of Play with a Plan are a winning combination.

Frequently asked questions

Who is it for?
Beginner to early intermediate guitarists. It’s made with electric guitar in mind, but everything is transferrable to acoustic guitar as well. 
Who is it not for?
Advanced guitarists or those who expect to see results without practice. Luckily, I’ve made it very easy. To improve, all you have to do is to follow the steps in the course. But if you skip the exercises and challenges inside, you’re skipping the practice part. And no one gets good on guitar by just watching videos ;) 
What if I already know the 5 shapes? 
You will still benefit from this course. There will be some repetition in the first part of the course where the 5 shapes are covered. However, most guitarists who’ve taken the course already knew the 5 shapes. Because you’ll also learn the most effective way to connect all the shapes and play effortlessly across the fretboard, in any key. 
How long are the lessons?
All the video lessons inside are around 5 minutes long and extremely straight-to-the-point. I personally hate unnecessary long videos.

However, there are also exercises and challenges inside the course. I recommend spending as long as you need on them, because that’s how you actually improve. 
What if I’m busy? 
No worries! You get lifetime access so you can learn at your own pace. Pause whenever you need and come back to the course when you have time. The course is also very straight-to-the-point. Life is short, so no time for fluff!
How is this different from other guitar courses?
Because the pentatonic scale is so crucial, there are a lot of courses on the topic. But most of them skip the most essential parts to actually use the scale effectively. Inside this course, you’ll for example learn about anchoring. This is the most effective way to connect all the shapes. I use it daily in my playing. 

Unlike other courses, you’ll not just get video lessons. You’ll also get exercises and challenges to actually improve. All you have to do is to follow the steps.
What if I struggle with motivation?
The lessons are short and bite-sized, leaving you with many small wins along the way. It feels less overwhelming this way and it’s also much more enjoyable. 
When do I get access to the course?
You get instant access to everything straight after purchase.
Who are you?
If you haven't been following me on my socials, you might ask who I am. My name is Simen Otnes and I’m a guitarist, music producer and graphic designer from Norway. Already when I started playing guitar at the age of 12, I wrote practice journals and obsessed over achieving my guitar goals. I believe there are some skills you need to work harder for (such as technical skills), but sometimes it’s just about knowing the right things, which is crazy to me.

I have played in around 10 different bands in Norway and the UK, played at some of the biggest stages in Norway and I also have a bachelor’s degree in music from LIPA (The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) which looks good on paper. Hooray. I'm also a professional graphic designer.
