Hey everyone! Here's another episode of Scales & Tales with 'The Pentatonic Connection.' I recently posted 'The Power Of 5' lesson a few days ago and received a lot of feedback/messages from viewers that let me know it really helped them see how to approach practicing this beyond-common scale differently. So, I wanted to add this lesson hot-on-the-heels of the previous episode, which moves even deeper into understanding just how important and eye-opening this simple five-note scale actually is.
This lesson begins with a few additional ideas to help you practice this scale differently, which will also help you get away from being stuck in the fingering "boxes" that guitarists commonly find themselves trapped in. This includes learning to arrange this scale on a single string, in addition to arranging the notes on a single string so you can view where the elusive five fingering shapes are built.
From there, we're actually hitting the "connection" part of this lesson, which focuses on how the five-note pentatonic scale can be transformed into six of the most common/popular seven-note scales/modes from the major scale. As you'll see, the minor pentatonic can easily be changed into Aeolian, Dorian, and Phrygian - since the five notes of pentatonic also happen to live within these three popular scales. After we've hit minor scale conversions, we can perform a similar series of conversions using the major pentatonic scale and uncover Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian in the process.
Needless to say, if you watched the previous lesson The Power Of 5, are a player searching for more information/ideas/tips surrounding this extremely common scale, are curious how a five-note pentatonic scale can be transformed into various seven-note major/minor scales, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!
