Guitar Scale Pentatonic Major in B Flat – Part 6 of 6
This guitar scale is the final one in may six part series on Pentatonic Scales. As you my remember from my previous web blog posts, I decided to do a short series because many players have difficulty following through if there is too much information. To work steadily through a half a dozen scales won’t hurt too much but the benefits will be many because a little self-discipline goes a long way. And the way I have written most of these scales is a little unusual to try and prevent players monotonusly running their fingers up and down the fretboard, but the fingerings are interesting and I know from experience that they will force you to think a little when you play them.
Most guitar players avoid the flat keys, they stick to C, D , A , G and E, because they are guitar friendly. So let’s break the habit a little with this one and do a B Flat. The key of B flat includes the notes B flat, C, D, E flat, F, G A and B flat.
But the Pentatonic I’ve used (penta being 5) is Bb, C, D, F, G . Note the fingering of the exercise, I jump to the 5th fret after playing the open G and a few of notes later I jump up a fret. And then decscending I move back to fret one. Playing this way will force you to think.
