Paint-A-Tonic (Abstract Dominant 7 Pentatonic Sketches)

In this book I present to you some of my very favorite dominant pentatonic scales through a series of abstract melodic sketches that can give you new creative ideas as to how to practice and generate interesting melodic vocabulary in a five note tonal system. Each scale targets a specific coloration of the V7 chord; from its very basic and consonant sound to the very edgy and dissonant altered variation of this very essential harmony.

Included you will find fretboard diagrams with all five mode patterns for each one of the nine scales presented here. I highly advise to apply all the practicing ideas and concepts you know from your other pentatonic studies to this set of scales so you get more familiar with the new fingerings, positions and their sound. Then you can proceed to learning the abstract sketches I have presented which are designed to take the routine scalar practice through a more musical and creative filter.

Each abstract sketch was designed to exploit the particular melodic hues and colors of the given scale, but once you learn it you can apply it to all the remaining scales as well. This way you will be able to end up with nine abstract sketches over each one of the nine dominant pentatonic scales presented here.

The pentatonic scales (with all their five modes) covered in the book are:

1) Mixolydian Pentatonic

2) Mixolydian Pentatonic #2

3) Sus4(b9) Pentatonic

4) 7(b9) Pentatonic

5) 7(b9#11) Pentatonic

6) 7(b9b13) Pentatonic
