    Wow! Great overview of pentatonics, especially helping me to decide to chisel off some of the extraneous (even distracting) thoughts I've had about them over the years. You also helped to show how to get in and out them in a solo while keeping a consistent harmonic and melodic story intact over the changes. This and your articulations series are on my current top wishlist, for sure. Doo-dennnnnn! ;)

    hello fine sir i ben self studying tonal language modal language polytonal language atonal language i was wondering if you noticed vertices where these 4 distint languages combine into one holographic harmony that behaves like a visual fractal ? its common to see overlap of tonal and modal people have worked on the areas of unification i was just wondering your take. the reason i say the unification is fractal is due to self similarity reappearing at all scales when one considers all possibilities thanks for your time

    • @ChadLefkowitzBrown
      @ChadLefkowitzBrown  4 роки тому +12

      Great question! If you’re shifting using minor pentatonics, then any given note can be found in 5 different minor pentatonic scales. For instance, the note D can be found in following minor pentatonic scales: D, E, G, A, and B. So anytime you land on a note in a pentatonic pattern, and you want to pivot to a new pentatonic scale using that note as a common tone, you have 4 options for new pentatonic scales that contain that note. Thus, you can shift to any of those new scales using that selected note as a common tone between the two scales. In the given example of pentatonic shifting in this video, we shift using a common tone on beat 1 of every bar. Hope that helps :) For more examples of pentatonic shifting, feel free to check out the full masterclass and supplemental PDF!
