Simply playing ascending 3rds or triads results in much more varied patterns when we are addressing pentatonic scales, an approach favored by more thoughtful players. It's worth really experimenting with the various pentatonic scales by trying to apply the kind of patterns one would use with a seven-note scale to these five-note options. This is a very powerful pentatonic – partly because of the wide interval between the G and B notes – a whole major 3rd.īecause of this wide interval, I chose to show a simple scale pattern applied to this scale. Our final choice is a personal favorite of mine – B major b6 pentatonic (B-D#-E-F#-G), which is like B major pentatonic but with a b6th. Out of interest, if you use this over a B7 chord, it starts to sound like Indian music – this is more of a Jeff Beck sound than in our example here. Although guitarists don’t tend to solo over the mmaj9 chord, players ranging from Scott Henderson to Steve Lukather have done. Listen to Robben Ford on Mystic Mile, Truth, and Talk To Your Daughter for the Minor 6 Pentatonic, and Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop, Who Else! and Blow By Blow for the Dominant 7th Pentatonic.
