Resume keeping the pentatonic in C C MInor pentatonic over Cm7 C MInor pentatonic over F7 (the minor pentatonic of the 5th) C major perntatonic over Fmaj7 (the major pentatonic of the 5th) C major pentatonic over Bbmaj7 (the major pentatonic of the 2nd) you can also use C major pentatonic over C7 Keep in mind you are over imposing the pentatonic scale over other chords. You are using NOTES from that scale to get some color notes. Where do you place those notes or how do you resolve them can have a major impact on how it will feel. It isn´t the same thinking C major pentatonic over Fmaj7 than thinking Am pentatonic over Fmaj7 the notes are the same but a scale has a hierarcy. If you are not playing just patterns you will have to pay attention to that. Try using the corresponding pentatonic to the chord and use the alternatives as colors and come back to the regular.

Been working my way through the pentatonics guided workout. Immediately realizing how I've neglected some crucial fundamentals that really tighten up everything else in my playing. Thank you guys

[@aukofx6393]

congrats on the upcoming new studio! I'm glad to hear you guys are sticking to it, I'm really diggin everything I see from you

[@pabloanonlijo]

Hi, guys! first, thank you for your videos! I lern with you so much! I'd like to add one coment to this subject of pentatonics. I love the sound of the tritone's pentatonic in a dominant alt. chord (for example: Gb major pentatonic over C7 alt); this set of notes doesn't contain the root neither the third of the chord, but it has all tensions (b9, #9, #11 or b5, #5 or b13 and b7), so this scale in this context has a color and powerfull sound, while it conserves the caracteristic 'easy' and mainstream sound of the pentatonic. On the other hand, I like other types of pentatonics, like major with b6 (C, D, E, G, Ab), that can use them in a melodic minor context: Fm6 (maj7), Dm7 (b5), Bb7 (#11), E7 alt., etc. Sorry for my mistakes in your language, my english is very bad... Salud y viva la MÚSICA!!

Please Do a video on triad pairs over form. Thank you kind sir.

On piano I had no use for the major pent, but learnig guitar I like the minor pent because it has the key chord tones: 3rd(flat but there is the major half tone up), 4th, 5th, and Dom7. I noticed BB, for example was all over it in his nice tutorial from 90s. So now I am much more open to Mr Pent Up....Down and....Thank you for all your great shows....unless you throw out the piano....;)

[@SimonWhitesideMusic]

I signed up to the piano pass. The first thing i have started is the Piano Technique 1 Pentatonic only on lesson 2 but already have fingers like Rambo or perhaps Rimbaud (Ooh la La)

[@stein0niets]

playing the minor pentatonic ( 1 b3 4 5 b7 ) notes of the altered scale (or melodic minor) is a fun one (it sounds quite "outside" and it could be connected to altered scale to bring it back "in" or just by shifting the pentatonic around chromatically f.e. 2 steps up to go from Valt to Imin)

Lol

[@jaysar]

=( hard time seeing this time

[@johnstainton]

turn you back to the camera and obscure your playing and talk at a much louder volume than the piano - nice!

[@weedanwine]

😂

[@synthplayer1563]

Anytune is only for Mac! Not good.

[@earthprisoner]

Pete, did your mother make you take piano lessons?..PS: you don't have to eat the SM7, it hides your faces...Thanks for your work, informing a less educated player like me!

[@crazyace88]

Bad analogy at 21:15. Lebron practices free throws because he's terrible at it lol

[@brucesstreet8204]

Painfull! 10 mins to get out of first gear and alt pentatonics /C vague.
