Substituting pentatonic scales on a minor 7 chord groove
Add to favorites 
A continuation of the theme from previous video (Minor 7 chord improvisation with scale substitution ) , how to improvise over a D minor 7chord, this time using the pentatonic scales contained in the C major scale or any of the modes derived from it – look below
C major ionian and/or C major pentatonic
Dm dorian and/or D minor pentatonic (of course)
Em phrygian and/or E minor pentatonic
F major lydian and/or F major pentatonic
G mixolydian and/or G major pentatonic
Am aolian and/or A minor pentatonic
Bm locrian
These all contain the same notes, but you target the notes differently by cheating the brain to see new patterns

Very good lesson Thomas, clear and complete. Not easy to explain harmony and improvisation but you did it well.
We want more!!
