- Different modes of pentatonic scale - Music: Practice Theory Stack . . .
Diatonic is commonly used to mean incorporating the 12-tone system of so-called 'Western theory', whereas pentatonic refers to the use of any number of 5-tone systems I think technically when using a pentatonic scale, as long as you stay within that scale you can still be said to be playing 'diatonically' But, the use of pentatonics sort of restricts what modern theoretical equivalences can
- how do you choose which pentatonic scale to use over a progression . . .
4 Since there are three pentatonic scales that work with any diatonic chord progression, how do you decide which one to use? If I have a chord progression in Bm, I could use Bmin, Emin or F#min pentatonic scales and all the notes will be found in the Bminor scale
- Why are the 4th and 7th scale degrees removed from the major . . . - theory
A pentatonic scale is a five note scale Nothing is missing or removed One way to generate a pentatonic scale with an additive process is to build the scale from ascending perfect fifths: C G D A E That can be re-arranged as C D E G A or A C D E G for either major or minor pentatonics With this method there are no removed tones
- What are the degrees of a pentatonic scale called?
The pentatonic scale is its own entity: a five tone scale with nothing skipped or missing I think it's believed the pentatonic scale existed long before diatonic scales I have only seen the degree names like tonic, supertonic, mediant, etc shown in the context of diatonic scales And there are certain harmonic associations with those degrees
- Chords and pentatonics - Music: Practice Theory Stack Exchange
Depends on the genre and the underlying composition You can play any note anywhere if it's within context If you are beginning to learn improvisation, you should stick to the notes of the scale and diatonic chords (meaning chords only using notes of the scale, C major pentatonic in this instance) You can find all the diatonic chords here
- Pentatonic and Chinese tradition - what I am getting wrong?
I am interested in the traditional Chinese music system, which is supposed to be a pentatonic scale According to Wiki, one way to get a pentatonic scale is to take five consecutive pitches from the circle of fifths and put them into one octave For example, we take C, G, D, A, E and put them in one octave as C, D, E, G, A
- which pentatonic scale to use for similar-quality diatonic chords?
Is it more common to pick the "parent" pentatonic scale (s) to play over the diatonic chords (ie; play CMaj or am pentatonics over all the diatonic chords) That works for a lot of music It tends to work when the harmony is fairly static, doesn't modulate or use secondary harmony, like basic 12 bar blues, rock, and pop harmony like I V vi IV
- What are the pentatonic scale fingerings for piano?
What is the most common fingering for the pentatonic scale? Minor and major All of them I don't know about standards; there are lots of different fingerings you could use I would like to know wh
