This is so valuable Get it down in all twelve keys and you have everything you need to make your own sound. That major pentatonic on its own has a Japanese sound. Put a funk beat on it and it becomes jazz/funk
Listen here BUDDY that was an awesome lesson what you just taught me was a REAL eye opener for me!!!😀 And I am truly grateful for this Thank YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
Hoi Paul thank you for your videos I like youre sound and i wonder what brand of mouth piece do you play on and what brand of reeds thanks mike from the netherlands
@@JorisPosthumusI think whatever works for each individual is what works for them. For me, it's more about the sound i'm going for in the moment. If I want a "pop" sound, I find I think major. And if I want a blues sound, I think minor... G major Pent sounds different to me on a G chord than E- pent.
@@PaultheJones Yeah, I am more into jazz, altered pentatonics and these last months I have been working on the triad pair system (hexatonic stuff) There is a cool book about this by WALT WEISKOPF called intervalic improvisation, cool book!
Great stuff here man. 🫶🏽 Just a quick question , when you’re combining the scales , are you thinking for 1 key centre or you’re playing the relative minor of the key centre of the Vamp? If that makes sense
Thanks! So if it's G7, I am thinking G major Pentatonic. And if it's E-7, I'm thinking E minor pentatonic. Of course both scales can be switched to both chords. Ie: G major Pent over E-7 and E- Pent over G7 and G Gmajor. But it's more about what I want to say at the moment. If I want a brighter/poppy'er sound I think G Major Pent. And if I want a blues'ier sound, I think E Minor Pent. Then in the end, mixing the two along with the blues scale, gives a full pop sound. (imho of course)
So on Alto I need to play the E minor pentatonic with your backing track? It’s a lot for an incredible video. This was just the stuff I was looking for
Hi Paul, I am interested in a Altissimo range practice lessons. Can you post a video on key things to practice or give guidance on your rates. I work with a Berg Larson Metal Mouthpiece. Thanks!
Great sound!
thanks!
Great lesson. Love your sound.
Great info man. I have been learning to improvise using pentatonics and it has opened up a whole new world for me.
that's awesome! Pentatonic power!

Isn't another way to know these scales to base on the root and sixth degree. So in tenor key F# blues, I can also play Eb blues.
There's so many good ways to think of scales. I just found these ones work well for me.
Excellent
Major pentatonic has a friend, its minor. So c-d-e-g-a C major pent. Starting from A you get the minor a-c--d-e-g
You are correct!
@@PaultheJones So, its not realy needed to study them seperate as they are the same:) Saves time;)
