  1. Using Minor Pentatonic Scales In Solo Work Can be very cool and hip!!

  2. Start with a progression • II V I in C • ||: Dm7 | G7 | C Maj7 | : || • First analyze the chord tones and scale. • For Dm7 use a D Dorian mode as the main scale: D E F G A B C D could number these: • D E F G A B C D • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 (2=9),(4=11), and (6+13)

  3. For G7 And C Major 7 • Scale for G7 is Mixolydian mode: • G A B C D E F G • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 • For C Major 7 – C major Scale • C D E F G A B C • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  4. Chord tones • Dm7 = D F A C • G7 = G B D F • C Maj7 = C E G B

  5. Application of triads to G7 Minor Pentatonics Scale Degrees Names Dm 5, 7, 1, 9, 11 D F G A C Em 13, 1, 9, 3 5 E, G, A, B, D Am 2, 11, 5, 13, 1 A, C, D, E, G Abm b9, 3, b5, #5, M7 Ab, Cb, Db, Eb, Gb Bbm #9 (b3), b5, #5, 7, b9 Bb, Db, Eb, F, Ab Fm 7, b9, b3, 11, #5 F, Ab, Bb, C, Eb Gm 1, b3, 4, 5, b7 G, Bb, C, D, F Cm 11, #5, b7, 1, b3 C, Eb, F, G, Bb

  8. Inside or Outside • Look at each minor pentatonic. Find where to play them on the guitar and at each of the inversions. • Approaches can very: • Dm7 G7 CMaj7 • Dm Em • Dm Em Em • Dm Em Am • Am Abm Am • Am Bbm Bm • Dm Ebm Em • Dm Dbm Cm Bm • Dm Fm Em • Am Cm Bm • Am Bbm Bm Cm Bm

  9. Now playing as progression • Dm7 may want to be very inside with G7 outside and C Maj7 inside. • Try various ways to put this together.

  10. Determine which works best for you • I have ones that I really like and use and others that I use very occasionally. • Decide which ones to work on then do it. • This is a good way to play a bit outside without being extremely outside. • Best to do them in a set progression then move on. • Works well in jazz, rock, and country soloing.

  11. Positions and transpose • Do these in many positions and transpose each one of them to many keys. • Most of you will not be here this summer. This is an excellent thing for you to practice over the summer. • Notice that this will be great to apply since everyone uses the minor pentatonic scale from day 1. • In the next room go over these!!!!
