Pentatonic Scales

  • 5 notes in any [[Scale]] that sounds good to each other
  • Basic pattern:

Minor: ^ebdcb9

Major: ^df9d10

Usage​

  1. Find the key of the song
  2. Find the root note (the name of the key on the 6th string)
  3. If it is a minor key then index finger on that root note. If it is major then put pinky finger on that root note.

TIPS: On any track, the melody needs to go with the current chord, which means we can find the note of the current chord and use it as a starting note of our melody.

  • Example: The current chord is C (C - E - G is the notes of C chord), we can start from either C, E, G and play around it until chord change to make it sound good and relevant with the melody.
