So we have all been practicing playing Pentatonic scales through the keys ( 1,2,3,5,6 from each major scale) Transposing it up in Half-steps, Down in Half-steps, up in Minor 3rds, Down in Tones etc... Now lets put all that work into context. We have been talking about 'Autumn Leaves' ( in Bb) and we have been doing some Funk studies.. Lets put them together. You can play; Bb major Pentatonic over Cmin7 B Major Pentatonic over F7(alt)... This is the Tri-Tone remember!! C major Pentatonic over Bbmaj7 ( which gives us a lovely #11 sound... E natural) and to finish with Db Major Pentatonic over the G7 ( alt) which will nicely pull us back into C minor ( 5, 1 Right!!??) So in other words. Rising Pentatonics going up in Half-Steps can fit over a 2 5 1 6. In this case in Bb major ( or over the first 4 chords of 'Autumn Leaves'). Try it! see what it sounds like. On the video I also played the same Pentatonic keys over C7sus, Db7sus, D7sus and Eb7sus. Obviously rising in Semi-tones. Then I mixed the chords up for fun. Any questions let me know. Enjoy. #trombone #barnabydickinson #jazz #musiciansofyoutube #brassplayers #patreoncreator #onlinemusiclessons #bachbrass #brassinstruments #funktrombone #tromboneshorty
