Combining Pentatonic Scales

[greghagger]

In the early days of playing bass, I discovered something about Pentatonic scales that absolutely blew my mind. I just couldn't believe what I had discovered, that there’s a major and minor pentatonic scale in every key that share the same notes!

 

Looking at the wider picture, I now know why this is and how it can be explained by music theory. But I'm still proud of finding this out all by myself at the time! 

 

In a practical context, this discovery massively helps when getting creative with bass fills and licks. You have more fretboard shapes to utilise.

Your book sounds great. We should chat. I’ve got a few books out and I’m planning an arpeggio exercises book!
