About the Book

Now is the time to get hip with some insanely fun, playable, exotic pentatonics!

A practical guide for all musicians, 25 Pentatonics introduces the reader to 25 pentatonic scale formulas that will fit over various chords, modes, and scales commonly used in jazz harmony. With its goal set to helping musicians expand their melodic and harmonic vocabularies, this book explores many altered five-note scales beyond the well-known unaltered major and minor forms. Notated with numbers and alphabets instead of standard music notations for a more flexible and streamlined format for transposition, the pentatonic scale formulas and examples presented by the author are applicable to different clefs, ranges, instruments, and voices.

Contents in the book include

  • an overview discussing the characteristics of the major, minor, and altered pentatonic scales;
  • a table specifying pentatonics derived from the scale degrees of nine scales commonly used in jazz harmony;
  • diagrams illustrating each pentatonic scale formula (with C assigned to Note 1) as a geometric shape inside a chromatic circle, thereby enabling readers to visualize intervallic patterns and symmetrical axes;
  • profiles analyzing the elements and properties of 25 pentatonic scale formulas (based on C root), with information about 3-note chords (triads), 4-note chords, 5-note chords, voicings, scale sources, musical applications, and harmonic implications;
  • charts outlining 25 pentatonic scale formulas in all keys; and
  • a table listing pentatonics for major and minor 2-5-1 chord progressions, with examples presented in the key of C.
For those seeking new ideas, fresh sounds, and another tool to add to their musical toolbox, the pentatonic scale formulas discussed in the book could serve as seeds and building blocks for melodies and harmonies that weave inside and outside underlying harmonic structures. Similarly, the book could be used as a supplementary reference manual for improving musicianship or as a source of inspiration for artistic creations that bring intellectual, emotional, and musical satisfactions to both the music makers and the listeners. Regardless of musical genres and styles, any musician studying the concepts and formulas examined in 25 Pentatonics would be able to unlock and access those unique five-note tonal palettes to jazz up the melodic phrases and harmonic textures in his/her compositions and improvisations, elevating the individual's creativity to a new level.

***This book might just be that "secret sauce" you have been looking for to crafting your juicy licks and signature sound.
