How to learn the Pentatonic

Let's start to dig into the minor pentatonic scale. Play the pentatonic scale slowly while singing the notes you're playing. Feel free to lead with your voice.

You can also do this away from the instrument, this is a skill you can work on infinitely.

Lesson Summary

In this lesson we introduced the E minor pentatonic scale before we start to explore the five positions of it. We played it slowly and also used our voice to tag the colors of the scale. Finally we used only our voice to improvise over a drone to fully internalize the sound of the scale before we dive in to the other positions.
