L311 Em pentatonic scale bass fills on Am7
Add to favorites Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Blip.tv video.
My favorite scale substitution, playing a minor pentatonic from the 5th of a Minor chord (also useful for 7Sus chords).
In this example an E minor pentatonic scale (E G A B D) over an Am7 chord.
The fast triplet fill is with fast “shakes” (i think it is called), very much in the Abe Laboriel vibe:-)

Great excercise. How would this theory apply if you are playing a major chord as the primary chord? Ex. amaj7 instead of a minor.

Not sure you’d need a tab for it. I mean, he’s doing it right in front of you.

: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad
: Great to hear, enjoy it:-)
