Pentatonic b1 Voicings – mDecks Music
Learn how to build and practice pentatonic b1 voicings—five-note skip-voicings that introduce a tritone useful for dominant sounds—and a focused routine for mastering them across keys.
This lesson demonstrates how to create voicings from the minor pentatonic with a flattened 1 (b1), showing how to voice by skipping every other scale degree to produce useful left‑hand tritones and right‑hand triads. You’ll get guided practice: which of the five derived voicings to favor (avoiding b9s against tritone notes), exercises across all scale degrees and chromatic keys, and a daily challenge using twelve‑tone rows. The video emphasizes ear‑based choices and provides downloadable PDFs with the voicings and tone rows so you can practice slowly with a metronome or groove and then increase tempo. Subsequent lessons apply these shapes to jazz standards and explore additional pentatonic colors for other chord types.
