Just Friends Pentatonic Rhythms Lesson 1 is a new approach to practicing different eighth note patterns over a standard chord progression. We start with a template of eighth note pentatonic patterns but then work on taking out 1 or 2 eighth notes to create different rhythmic variations. This is done in a systematic way so that a variety of eight note rhythms are covered. The goal of this lesson series is to become fluent with the different pentatonic scales used while also becoming more rhythmically adept.<\/p>\n
In lesson 1, we talk in depth about the different pentatonic used and I give you a PDF sheet of an example 8th note line which weaves throughout the changes. I also give you 12 rhythmic variations to practice as well. I demonstrate many of the examples on the tenor saxophone. I also include 3 different play-alongs so that all instruments can practice to the Bb PDF\u2019s with their assigned play-along. I also talk in depth about how to transition from practicing the exercises to using them in improvisation.
