Hey what's up guys, as you can see I [G#] was trying to groove a little bit just over an
E minor pentatonic.
So I just call this groove a minor pentatonic groove.
[E] What I was doing
I was in a key of E, alright, just in a key just jamming out a little bit.
And I know
as bass players we love to play pentatonics, we love to play major pentatonics, minor pentatonics.
Whether it [B]
[E] [B] [E]
be.or.or. [N] major pentatonic. Just a little bit about the pentatonic scale, major or minor, the first part of the word actually gives it away. Like a pentagon shape has five sides. The pentatonic scale has five notes. Let's figure out what that minor pentatonic scale is. Okay, since I'm on the key [E] obviously that's the note that I'm going to start on. Okay, so it starts on E, [G] next note G, [A] next note A, [B] next note B, [D] next note [E] D, and back to the original note E. Okay, so that's our pentatonic scale, our minor pentatonic scale. Be sure not to get that confused with the [N] major pentatonic scale because the major pentatonic scale [E] has a major third, [G#m] alright, and then a major sixth. So back to minor pentatonic scale we have E, [A] G, [B] A, [D] B, D, [E] and back to the E. So the fingering that we use for this is 1, [G] 4, [A] 1, [Bm] 3, 1, [E] 3. Now, there is another fingering for that if you want to extend that pentatonic. Okay, so the groove I was doing in the beginning [D] [B] [E] wasso I extended the pentatonic scale so I just [Bm] [A] instead of [B] using thatinsteadins of going to that G with [G] my fourth finger, I brought it down here. [E] Okay, so [A] [G] shift and I just kept going down. E, [D] D, B, A, [E] G, E. Alright, [B] so here's the shift again. Shift, shift. [E] Okay, one more time. Shift, shift. [B] Okay, so the fingering that I'm using is pretty simple, pretty easy. I'm just doing 1, [D] 3, 1, 3 back and forth. [G] [E] Okay, so that was the groove in the beginning. So to extend that minor [B] pentatonic scale, that's the fingering you can use to do that. Alright, let me show you that minor pentatonic scale inside of that groove. [E] I'll take it slow this time. [D] [B] [G]
[E] So when you play in that groove, [B] that kind of a groove, that style groove, what I was doing, I was kind of putting emphasis on all the notes and kind of attacking them and playing them staccato. Okay, so [E] got it? So what we're doing is E, octave, [C#] C sharp, [D] D, [E] octave. Okay, [D] [Am] that's the first part of the [E] groove. [D] [B] Now here comes the pentatonic scale, the minor pentatonic. [Bm] [E] Okay, got it? So from the beginning, E, octave, C [D] sharp, D, [Bm] octave. Scale. [E] All together. [D] [B]
[Bm] [E]
Alright guys, go work it out. And as I always say, take it slow. Alright, take the process slow. Learn the minor pentatonic scale first. Learn to play it clean and clear. [D] Make sure all the notes are coming out. Every single note is important. Till next time, see ya. [G#] [B] [F#m]
