The Pentatonic Rabbit Hole – mDecks Music
A five-step guided workout exploring pentatonic substructures and altered-scale enclosures, with exercises to apply these concepts in all keys.
This lesson walks you through five practical steps to develop a pentatonic-based improvisational language, using minor-4 and perfect chordal substructures, altered hexatonic ideas, and chromatic enclosures. Each step includes playable voicings and lines, with guidance on how to practice the material across all keys so the concepts become automatic in performance. You’ll learn how to combine C Dorian pentatonic substructures, G altered hexatonic passages, and enclosures to create tension-and-release lines, plus left-hand voicings derived from pentatonic structures. A downloadable PDF of the exercises is provided for members to help internalize the patterns and apply them on your instrument.
