Solo Over Rhythm Changes Using Pentatonics | Essentials 

Richie is the man! I had the enormous privilege of having not only shared the stage with him but also recorded soprano sax on one of his beautiful album "Metal Caribe" Richie also played on my first album "El Angel" along with Paquito D'Rivera and Alex Acuna among others.I recorded a couple of his great compositions on my album as well. His use of pentatonics on "Mambo Tango" song recorded on my album, is amazing!!!. I will be eternally grateful to this great musician friend for having produced me and inviting me to record on his Songosaurus label. A big musical hug for Richie Zellon!

The best demonstration of rhythm changes soloing I've seen yet. Lots there to build upon! Thnks!

Brilliant. Amazing how versatile the pentatonic scales are.

You’re the Bomb. Thx Richie! Love your site & playing.

Excellent tutorial, Richie! I've been working on these changes for about two years now - learning and memorizing several choruses and still can't improvise freely over them unless I'm sticking to blues licks. Anyway: your lesson is adding valuable material to my vocabulary and I'm looking forward to Part II. Thanks for all of your efforts - they are much appreciated! Tom

Grazie!

great lesson.

You are cool indeed. Good job...

Hy nice video. What a pick-up have on your Fender?Thanks

Very cool vid. Thanks Richie! Hey, I noticed when you are playing straight pentatonics that you rely heavily on the first and middle fingers and not so much the ring finger. For bends etc. The only other person I've ever seen really do that is Todd Rundgren. I guess geniuses think alike. :)

Hi, what pickups are installed on your guitar? thanx for the answer.

What string gauge do you in the strat?? Thanks

can't find the pdf file on the website??

Hi Richie I cant seem to find the PdF for this lesson on your site.. Thanx for your answer.
