Hey everyone! Here's another episode of Scales & Tales and yet another Pentatonic-related lesson with 'Stretch Pentatonic Scales.' I actually featured some stretch pentatonic ideas in the recent 'Power Of 5' lesson about a week ago, and since that time I've had a number of requests to feature more about this interesting/inspiring concept, and actually this lesson idea has been on the back burner for a while and is long-overdue - so let's dive in!
This lesson centers around a number of ways to approach grabbing/using what are known as "stretch pentatonic scales." Where we're taking notes from one pentatonic position and adding them with notes from another shape. This combination of scale shapes expands this sound of the scale, opens the door to plenty of experimentation and discovery, and creates numerous frethand challenges along the way - especially for the pinky finger!
Once the basics are introduced, as far as locating and creating stretch shapes from combining two pentatonic positions, we're continuing this avenue of study by looking at some concepts/ideas from complete legends known for using these ideas in their music - including Michael Schenker, Paul Gilbert, Eddie Van Halen, and even the mighty Allan Holdsworth (yikes!).
Needless to say, if you're curious about expanding the simple pentatonic scale structure into something more unique and advanced, are one of the viewers that asked for more surrounding this subject, are a player looking for some new ways to play and rework this beyond-common scale, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!
