Exelrprr r.8

Here is a different way to constructmajor or D minor pentatonic:

the same grouping of notes. For example, beginning with F

(Even though some of the intervals between the notes of the pentatonic scale are larger than asecond I will call moving from one note to the next in the scale a )step() So for the D minorpentatonic scale start with D and step up to f, step up to G, step up to Au step up to C and so on.

The same scale written out as follows uses what I'll call >skip<. That is starting on D, skip up to G,skip up to C, skip up to f,, skip up to A:

v skipt skipA skip( skipG

A double skip would look like this:

c-7

A triple skip would look like this:

Using skips and steps provides us with a way to construct many pentatonic lines as it gives us a

means to hear and analyze these fifferent pentatonic lines.

To help memorize the different pentatonic scales play the remaining notes in the scale starting mthe given note. First go through the memorizing quiz and play the notes descending and then rtpc*the exercise with the notes ascending.

For example; the descenfing notes would be:

The ascending notes would be:
