Chords for The Pentatonic Scale Exercise that will Inspire you

_ _ _ I'm just going to show you a little minor pentatonic sequence that may spark a new idea
for you, get you out of a rut.
I'm going to take the straight pentatonic, not even the blues scale, just to show you
a little pattern.
So we've got the A minor pentatonic, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
and we're going to go like [Cm] this.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Cm] _ So we're going to do two notes there, so that's the eighth fret on the high E, _ _ _ then down the scale. _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Am] _ And the other way you can do it is a double pick, then a pull-off.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ That way you're going to be able to do it faster.
[Em] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ And just keep in mind, you know, you're not going to want to just go through that whole
thing in a solo, but you can get new licks out of little sequences like this.
So we're [C] going to do_
Pa pa, pa [Am] pa, pull [Em]-off, pick that.
_ _ _ So that's the first, you know, move or whatever.
_ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _
Okay?
_ Guess what?
Same thing from the next note down.
So we're going to double up now on the root, that fifth fret of [Am] the high E.
_ Can't pull that off because we're going to go down to here.
So we've got_
[Cm] _ _ _ [Em] _ But we're going to pull that one off.
So [Am] we're pulling off from the eight to the five on the B.
_ _ Double, _ [E] _ pull-off on the B from eight to five.
Put those two [Cm] together. _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Slow [Am] again.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ Now what I recommend, the quickest way [B] to get that whole thing, the [F] others that I'm
going to show you, is to just master one at a time.
Don't go ahead, you know, [Em] get this down. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ The sequence continues the exact same way through that scale.
So you've got_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ So that third [E] one, very similar to what we did on the first one.
We're going to go [Em] double, pull-off.
[E] _ _ _ [Cm] Three notes with two picks. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] And boom, seventh fret on the G.
[Bb] So _ you put those three [Cm] together, _ _ [E] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] then double on the B.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Cm] Seventh on the G, pull-off to five on the G.
Hopefully you get where we're going. _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Double on the G, [Cm] pull-off, [A] _ then to [D] the D. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [Cm] Double here, _ [A] _ [Gm] and then a [D] pull-off.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Gm] _
[A] Double there, _ _ [Gm] pull-off [E]
to there.
[A] _ _ _ [Bb] Double [G] there, _ _ [Gm] pull-off there.
[E] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E]
Okay, all the way through, [Cm] really slow.
_ [Em] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, now watch.
If I just try and _ improvise some licks with elements of that, that's kind of the idea.
_ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] See that?
So I did [Gm] a_ _
and [Em] then just right back.
One little piece of that sequence.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [E] _ _ [F] Can do it with the other scales too, not the pentatonic.
But we're focused right now on that pentatonic.
So see what you can add into your arsenal.
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] All right, that was it.
Hope you enjoyed it.
