Mastering Scales - Minor Pentatonic Shape 4

New Ukulele Tutorials every Wednesday and Saturday Scales, they are how we improvise, how we create meldoy, we combine them with chord tones and arpeggios to make riffs, bass lines, we use them to connect chords and we use them fill up empty space, cleary one of the most important tools in music and the literal foundation of one of the three elements of music, melody (the other two being harmony and rhythm) So, knowing that they are important we try to learn them, and we do, we learn the shapes and we practice them, we go up and down with them... but just one problem. everytime we do it sounds like... a scale and not like music! C'mon man! Why does that happen? Well, besides experience and time one of the main issues is HOW we practice scales. So many of us start at one end of the shape, go to the other end, then back down. We don't learn how to connect the shapes, we don't learn the shapes out of order and we definitely don't practice them in time, so why are we surprised when it doesn't work? This lesson is part of a series that I have been doing to help you master scales, the first set of scales that we are looking to perfect is the Minor Pentatonic, the most important in all of improvisation, whether it be country, rock, pop or the blues, the minor pentatonic is the foundation of so many of the solos we know and love, and even if they aren't 100 percent from the pentatonic scale, they are darn near 99% from the scale, with an occasional note hear and there leaving the scale pattern. So here are 9 exercises to get you to learn to master the scale, play it out of order and even improve your timing with it, enjoy!
