About the Lesson

In this lesson we look at adding Chromatics to Arpeggios and Scales. We also look at ways of modernising the Minor Pentatonic scale with the use of Expanded 2-1-2 patterns. Once we’ve done that, we’ll take a look at playing Diminished Patterns over a Static Chord Groove, which not only add a bit of tension to our playing but also give us a platform to develop wider interval phrases.

What you'll Learn

  • How to add Chromatic notes to Scales and Arpeggios
  • Modernise the Pentatonic Scale with Contracted & Expanded 212 Patterns
