How To Pick The Correct Pentatonic Scale

[greghagger]

Last week I made a YouTube lesson on the five major pentatonic shapes and explained why these might be useful to us bass players.

 

Since then I've had a few questions about how to apply these shapes and how to choose between the major and minor pentatonic scales.

 

So, this week I've made a lesson comparing the five major and minor pentatonic shapes and I also explain a system for knowing when to use them.

 

In the lesson I also discuss how to approach using pentatonics for constructing bass lines and improvising riffs.

 

After working through the two videos from last week and this week, you'll have all the information you need to properly understand how to utilise pentatonic scales on the bass.
