    Introduction

    Thanks for purchasing this resource.

    There is something amazing and mysterious about the variety of sounds and
    emotions that can be created by superimposing Pentatonics on to different
    chords.
    I believe it is really worth taking the time to internalise and think about these
    note /chord relationships before rushing to race up and down pentatonic
    shapes.
    I would recommend practicing and singing the Pentatonic scales in this book
    with the Piano as a way to immerse the ear with the sounds.

    There is a large amount of material here that is the result of 30 years happy
    experimentation, so please be patient with yourself as it takes time to assim-
    ilate the sounds deeply.

    Using the Mp3 playalongs and book


    There are 7 Basic chords that each Minor Pentatonic can be superimposed
    over, as are shown in the main exercise book introduction and in this book.

    The 7 are always grouped together in to ´families´ that share the same key
    signature and that work together.

    For example, practice the C minor Pentatonic exercises with any chords from
    the C minor family ( Cmin7, Dbmaj7b5, Eb6, Fmin7, Eb over G bass , Abmaj7,
    Bb7sus4)
    Immerse youself in these deeply. There is no hurry.
    Use a metronome if you wish and be sure to make up your own lines!
    Use the patterns as starting places.
