123. IMPROVISATION WITH THE PENTATONIC SCALE

(This post has not been written completely yet)

The simplest way is as we described in the post 102 , of improvisation  of unaccompanied melodies, with the alternation of chord and transition melodic theme.

Here the chords are the root and 5th (e.g. in F major pentatonic F G A C D, it is the F and Dm) and arbitrary sequences of notes between them.

Next we describe more methods with accompanied by chords melodies.

As in lever Harp tuned in C major the directly tunable pentatonic scales is the G major and F major we refresh some information about the F major pentatonic scale

Here is a video where the soloing around any chord X is the pentatonic scale of its root, which equivalent with the arpeggio of the chord X with 6th and added 9th (or 2nd) thus X6add9.
