    The summary is: The exercise breaks from traditional pentatonic scale notions by using a 3 note per string A minor pentatonic scale including a blue note, ascending diagonally across 3 octaves with a triplet pulse. The second half creates a 3 note per string box shape but doubles notes on string changes, allowing for lengthy shred runs that sound extreme by making it seem the solo could go on forever, as used by guitarists like Dimebag Darrell, Dave Mustaine, and Jason Hook.

    The next exercise is a little cray cray, as we’ll be breaking some preconceived

    notions about our old mate…the pentatonic! What makes this scale shape
    and exercise so unorthodox is that we’re using a 3NPS pentatonic in the key
    of ‘A’ minor, including a “blue note” (AKA as the diminished or flat 5th or Devil’s
    tritone), and we’ll be ascending in a diagonal manner across 3 octaves.

    Figure 1.23 3NPS ‘A’ pentatonic scale shape w/blue note w/ triplet quaver
    pulse 110bpm

    You’ll notice from the second half of measure to the end of the exercise, we
    have almost a 3NPS box shape, but a lot of notes are doubling up on string
    changes. This is a cool way to move through a scale more slowly with a lengthy
    shred run and make it sound more extreme. I’ve heard players like Dimebag,
    Dave Mustaine and Jason Hook (Five Finger Death Punch) use this “doubling
    up” notes concept in solos to create massive shred runs that sound like they
    could go on forever.
