Zakk Wylde and Ace Frehley made careers out of it.![]()
To OP. Learn all the positions, not just first. Make sure you can play all the standard licks that you can play in first position in the others too. Check out Eric Johnson and see how he plays repeating patterns in different rhythmic groupings like four over one and five over one.
So did Eric Johnson, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, EVH, Joe Perry, and tons of others. Don't get fooled into thinking that Pentatonics are basic and not cool.
