The easy way to practice pentatonic for jazz
If you struggle to find the time to practice jazz chords and scales and wish there was an easier way, then why not give pentatonic a try.
I would not say it’s a hack as you still need to play with a great deal of creativity to make sound authentic but it can be a great way into jazz improvisation for the beginner or early intermediate jazz student.
In this video I take you through what a pentatonic scale is and how I get an extra note by using the related blues scale to the major pentatonic!
The tunes we will look at in this video include
Dinah - Summertime - Rhythm changes - Simple blues
Some of the tunes only use one pentatonic scale, others use more!
The resources for this video are available here for the price of a cup of coffee and piece of cake!

They come in Concert pitch, Bb pitch, Eb pitch as well as bass clef.
I also send you the backing tracks and recorded demos of myself playing the etudes.
There is also a flyer that will take you to the ‘book a call’ page if you may’ve interested in my jazz improvisation coaching program where you get the opportunity to work a lot closer with me!

Thanks that’s interesting
No problem!
Great lesson!👍
Thanks! 😃
Nice job Darren. My second text to ye. I do NOT seek to undermine your good work but instead share a general thought Re soloing: perhaps "never" play notes that others in the band play? Thinking like this directs us to the other/remaining available notes. Forget the I chord because there is nothing to say on the one chord. Also play silence, not too many notes, I recognise you are teaching/sharing so you likely know all this. Also I don't know your body of work so forgive my intrusion. (For my part I have just worked the Tom Harrell Roman Nights [live/on YT] on Flugelhorn, by heart and I think you would enjoy digging that song out).
The more we discuss and know, the more we musically grow
Cheers
Lloyd for President!
