In this advanced pentatonic scale, I'm giving you some very modern pentatonic ideas that are past the
normal pentatonic sounds.
This is a pentatonic scale based on- Root / #4, 5, natural 7 and root. If you take the time to try it against the
given chord types CΔ7 , C-Δ7 , CΔ7(b5) , D7sus4 ,
EbΔ7(+5) , EbΔ7(b5) , E7 , F7 , F#-7(b5) , A-7 , A7sus4 ,
Bb7 , B7 for the key of C
you are going to have endless things to play.
Then, study it the way I used it starting on the different chord tones. This is the most you might learn within one lesson and it is a lot of work that will
bring personal results and get you closer to some ideas and shapes you can hear of your own. Remember go slow. Play it against a band in the box chord, or some play along tracks.
Then isolate a few of the progressions you already know and apply it. Remember this is not licks,its a technical approach that needs practicing and application first. To hear is to see ok?
In my private teaching, I have over 15 of these scales, including the basic pentatonic 1-2-3-5-6. It's a mind opener and a ear opener for personal expression.
Enjoy,
