The weirdest lie in music theory- I see these posts all the time get tons of upvotes about key signatures and the emotions they produce. It kinda bothers me to see woo woo music theory nonsense proliferate. Take a second and join me on alittle ride to see how accurate they may or may not be 👀

How to practice pentatonic shapes on guitar, but this method will increase your efficiency of both memorizing them and using them in a musical way. Dual practice of arpeggios and pentatonics will reinforce both concepts and connect them across your entire fretboard
