This was my 2nd practise session learning the minor pentatonic scale, it still felt slightly strange as I'm very new to playing anything of this style on guitar. Today going over the scale felt rather similar to the last time when I recorded myself playing the scale as it's early days, before I recorded the video I was trying to play the notes faster than I actually could and it was showing! I knew had to take it steady as I can't just rush into and pull off techniques like these so this calmed me down. In the video you can see at the start I played a wrong note but I carried on because at this stage It's very common to slip up. I now know the notes and can locate them rather well from memory but now the target is to keep getting a solid constant rhythm going with it and not playing blunt notes by accidentally muting the strings which I do at the start of this video.

Session musician Career progression:

Learning scales is a great step to take for moving in the right direction to becoming a session musician. A payed session musician will be fluent and confident with their instrument, in this case a guitar. For a lead guitarist scales will be the core of their role and most solos are purely written around particular scales.
