This Round Is Done!
Yo dawg, I heard you like pentatonics, so I put some pentatonics in your pentatonics so you can play pentatonics while you play pentatonics.
Everybody loves pentatonics. It's the first thing they learn on guitar, and it is the goto scale when showing off your skills. However, do your skills in pentatonics pay the bills? Let's find out by having you play this piece that features both major and minor pentatonics plus some insiduous evil notes over a basic 12 bar blues.
Take this round and try to play the pattern either as exactly as you can, as fast as you can, or interpret this as wildly as possible without leaving the blues genre too much.
