Pianist, composer, educator, arranger, and oddly talkative mime Jeremy Siskind explains how to play a colorful solo using only pentatonic scales, demonstrating on the standard, "You Stepped Out of a Dream." Enjoy - for you, my cherished audience, are the ones who stepped out of a dream for me. (what?)

That's super nice, Jared. Frankly, I'm amazed that anyone at all wants to hear about the nerdy things I'm talking about...
I’m a bassist.. and I’m loving these lessons! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Awesome - thanks fro watching, Alex!
This is so helpful ! Thx alot ! 😏👍
Great concepts!
May I ask a question? What is your view about chromatic or semi-chromatic enclosures when playing an otherwise pentatonic solo? Would you throw some in, or does that ruin the pentatonic effect?
Thank you 😅
The single scale pentatonic solution for ii-V-Is offered by Mark Levine is to play the major pentatonic of the V chord over the entire progression. The “problem” with that is that it renders the ii and I chords with “color” and the V chord as bland. Your suggestion of using the pentatonic of the I chord over the progression renders the “color” on ii and V and the I sounds resolved. It’s a small shift of thinking, but it makes a significant difference. Obviously, there’s room for both approaches
Best lesson on the subject ❤

That's so nice - thanks, overdo. Don't "overdo" it. 😉
Why not Herbie? Thanks for another thought- and music-provoking video.
Thanks Jeremy! Signed John Hancock
This is fantastic. Another idea I saw somewhere for playing far out with pentatonics is to use a note from the “correct” pentatonic scale you are playing as a pivot note to switch to a pentatonic scale which shares that note in common. Anyway another fantastic video as always. I’ll have to get the third fundamentals book.
Very cool Jeremy! All of these pentatonics are also great for harmonizing with 6th diminished!
Amazing resource, thanks!
great reminder for me to dig into book #3! And yes. my copy does have your John Hancock
Thanks Jeremy
Fascinating Jeremy. Loved this one. Gave me excellent insight and a new perspective I had not thought about before . John Hancock.
"Every note was germane." (said by a jazz prof at Rutgers about 40 years ago).....but it applies here!
John Hancock!😊
I don't have your Etudes book yet...
