5 over 4 legato diminished, synthetic pentatonic scale


This exercise combines a synthetic half/whole pentatonic scale with legato and quintuplets played 5 over 2.
You can see the intervals and how they relate to Bb7 in scale diagram below.


Don't forget that because this is diminished based, you can move this up or down in minor thirds and/or play
it over G7, Bb7, Db7, E7 as well. I also like the way it sounds over Maj7 chord up a 1/2 step from each of the
7th chords so Abmaj7, Bmaj7, Dmaj7, Fmaj7!


I demonstrate this with legato picking but you can use alternate or economy as well.


Remember, I give private lessons so hmu if you're interested. More info on my website.
