 Modal pentatonics I've been hearing this term thrown around lately. Can anyone explain to me what a modal pentatonic scale is and how they are formed? And, assuming by the name, is there one for each diatonic mode?     |

 You might want to check out Ron Lemos very thorough book on the topic here: Amazon.com: Jazz Guitar Soloing Concepts - A Pentatonic Modal Approach To Improvisation BK/CD (Book & CD) (9781423420132): Ronald Lemos: Books A pentatonic is essentially any 5 note scale. A modal pentatonic is just that: a subset of a standard (7 note) modal scale containing only 5 mode-defining notes. They mostly leave out usual suspects like the 4th, 3rd or 5th, and concentrate on the mode-defining notes like the 6th and 9th in Dorian for example. |
