Griffinator Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yep. As much as I can't stand Bobby for what he did to us in the 80's, he just completely knocked it out of the park as far as how conditioned we are to the pentatonic scale. It's become part of everyone's DNA, almost, because it's been fed to us virtually non-stop for three generations (jazz, R&B, rock'n'roll, and all the current variations) A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

It's become part of everyone's DNA, almost, because it's been fed to us virtually non-stop for three generations (jazz, R&B, rock'n'roll, and all the current variations) I recall reading somewhere years ago that some very ancient chimes that were sort of like tuning-forks had been dug up in China, and that they followed a pentatonic scale...

d halfnote Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Saw this previously; it is very cool ! Also check out the other 2 McFerrin vids there, as well as some of the other, more esoteric clips. My fave part is that in the list the description is "Bobby McFerrin Demons..." d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I love the pentatonic scale, it is easy to play in every key, it has most of the sounds I like, and it simply works great against almost any set of changes. I opted never to learn arpeggios on guitar although I use them a lot on keyboard for recording and I never missed them at all. I do alter my use of the full 8 note scale in whatever mode I am working in using the pentatonic. I may add some notes in scale or out but generally I use the pentatonic in varied modes most of the time. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Blues Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 That was very interesting. I think more than anything else it speaks to our commonality as human beings. I like at the end when he says that anywhere he goes people can follow it. Maybe music is the tool we need to use to get people to look past all the prejudice in the world - exept for metal, metal still sucks.
