Indepth pentatonic studies (or goodrick's Almanac) are definitely not suited for balanced family life unless you need one half hour sleep a night!<br /><br />Thanks for all the information...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-85130204885969359942010-02-17T11:32:47.693-08:002010-02-17T11:32:47.693-08:00Great list!

I like the Lateef book and the Slonimsky too...although <br />they're both pretty daunting to practice from (so much material, so little explanation....)<br /><br />It looks like you have a few pentatonics. I like the idea of <br />pentatonics as just a collection of five pitches from a given scale. <br />For instance, from the super locrian scale (Db Melodic minor starting on C), you can get these pentatonics:<br /><br />Eb-E-Ab-Bb-Db (works over C7alt.)<br />Gb-Ab-Bb-Db-Eb (C7alt.) (this is just the tri-tone sub pentatonic)<br />E-Gb-Ab-C-Db (C7alt.)<br />Ab-Bb-C-Eb-E (C7alt.)<br />C-Eb-E-Gb-Bb<br /><br />You can switch up roots for any of these, obviously, and there are <br />probably more from that scale... it's just an example. You can come up with similar pentatonic-ish patterns with just about any scale. <br /><br />Another method is to take a basic major or minor pentatonic and just <br />start altering pitches- I once came up with a list of about 200 <br />altered pentatonics that way. Then I realized I needed a girlfriend....<br /><br />ScottScott Hallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-45263217675931396102010-02-17T04:24:56.727-08:002010-02-17T04:24:56.727-08:00How about Ab(b13)-bebop: Major third down-bebop wi...How about Ab(b13)-bebop: Major third down-bebop with a flatted 6th (the F gets flatted).
