In this lesson, we learn 3 techniques (+ one bonus!) to improvise and create music using the Pentatonic Scales. We first learn the Theory of the Major Pentatonic scale and the Minor Pentatonic scale and then look at three approaches to practice, composition, and improvisation:

1) Left Hand Bass Exploration
2) Improvisation with Singing
3) Pentatonic Licks (sets of 3)
4) BONUS - Bass Riffs
