This is so valuable Get it down in all twelve keys and you have everything you need to make your own sound. That major pentatonic on its own has a Japanese sound. Put a funk beat on it and it becomes jazz/funk

Great sound!

Major pentatonic has a friend, its minor. So c-d-e-g-a C major pent. Starting from A you get the minor a-c--d-e-g

@@JorisPosthumusI think whatever works for each individual is what works for them. For me, it's more about the sound i'm going for in the moment. If I want a "pop" sound, I find I think major. And if I want a blues sound, I think minor... G major Pent sounds different to me on a G chord than E- pent.

@@PaultheJones Yeah, I am more into jazz, altered pentatonics and these last months I have been working on the triad pair system (hexatonic stuff) There is a cool book about this by WALT WEISKOPF called intervalic improvisation, cool book!

With all the jammin, where does the lesson come in or, a pdf to go with your “lesson” 🤔

wow 👏🏾

Isn't another way to know these scales to base on the root and sixth degree. So in tenor key F# blues, I can also play Eb blues.

There's so many good ways to think of scales. I just found these ones work well for me.

Great stuff here man. 🫶🏽 Just a quick question , when you’re combining the scales , are you thinking for 1 key centre or you’re playing the relative minor of the key centre of the Vamp? If that makes sense

@PaultheJones

Thanks! So if it's G7, I am thinking G major Pentatonic. And if it's E-7, I'm thinking E minor pentatonic. Of course both scales can be switched to both chords. Ie: G major Pent over E-7 and E- Pent over G7 and G Gmajor. But it's more about what I want to say at the moment. If I want a brighter/poppy'er sound I think G Major Pent. And if I want a blues'ier sound, I think E Minor Pent. Then in the end, mixing the two along with the blues scale, gives a full pop sound. (imho of course)
