SKILL #1 5 PATTERNS OF THE MINOR - PENTATONIC SCALE• THE MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE IS IN MANY WAYS THE MOTHER OF ALL SCALES AND
FOR SOME GUITARISTS IS THE ONLY SCALE MODE THEY EVER LEARN. THE SCALE IS ONLY 5 NOTES LONG AND USES THE FOLLOWING NOTE DEGREES:
CHROMATIC SCALE
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 (repeated)
C #C D #D E F #F G #G A #A B C
MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE
C #D F G #A C1 #2 4 5 #6 1 (repeated)
Thus, the Minor Pentatonic Scale can be described according to “Steps” (semitones) and/or Numbers:
Steps = 1.5 - W - W - 1.5 - WNumbers = 1 - #2 - 4 - 5 - #6
b3 b7

HOW THEY ALL FIT TOGETHER
IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE PATTERNS OF NOTES THAT FALL INTO THE MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE WE WOULD SEE THIS CONFIGURATION. (CAN YOU FIND THE PATTERN THAT YOU LEARNED IN GUITAR 10? WHICH PATTERN IS IT?

THE PATTERNS BELOW FALL INTO WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE “CAGED” SYSTEM - 5 PATTERNS (SHAPES)

• Reminders about Learning and Playing Scales• 1. Play it correct the first time. Play very slowly to start! (Speed will take care of itself – accuracy will not!)
• 2. The word scale and mode means the same thing.
• 3. Practice picking strings 3 ways – up, then down, then alternating up and down.
• 4. With a basic knowledge of scales musicians are better able to:• -see how melodies are created• -see how chords are built• -create more exciting, interesting melodies and
solos
* In fact that’s what a scale is! Musical material that you can use to make melodies, riffs and even chords (Jazz music is based on this idea!)
