Mark de Clive-Lowe Talking About Chord Progressions

In this tutorial video Mark de Clive-Lowe demonstrates the use of the Minor Pentatonic scale over a simple two chord progression.

Mark de Clive-Lowe focuses on pitch and melody with the goal of using a set of pitches to improvise over a two chord progression, namely the Pentatonic scale (a common five note scale). The said progression goes from a C Minor chord to an F Minor chord, and that fits nicely underneath the C Minor Pentatonic scale. WIth the addition of some tension filled note choices, such as the #4/b5 “blue note”, more melodic variations can quickly be created.
