5 Simple Pentatonic Tricks to Play…

So after a question from Beeastman123 on Pentatonics and how to get a Jazz Rock
Fusion sound from them I decided to create a new video on just the topic. I
decided to write out 5 different tricks that you can apply with the Pentatonic
scale (be it major or minor) and get a new, fresh, different sound from the scale
we all know and love. The five tips are:

1. Modify the Pentatonic Scale

2. Move the Pentatonic Scale up or down a 1/2 step

3. Move the Pentatonic Scale up or down chromatically

4. Move the Pentatonic Scale up or down in minor 3rds

5. Use chromatics in between the Pentatonic Scale
