The Minor Pentatonic Scale On Bass: 3 Places To USE It

It’s one thing to know your minor pentatonic scale on bass. It’s another thing entirely to know exactly where and how to use it.

If you just randomly noodle up and down your bass, is that going to make great music? My guess – probably not.

But if you have a solid idea of where your minor pentatonic scale is going to work, then you’ll have a much better chance of sounding good using it.

In this video, you’re going to learn:

• 3 places to use your minor pentatonic (and know it’s going to work)
• A simple ‘trick’ that will multiply your options and open up your creativity
• Why pentatonics are great for making fills (and how to make them work for you)

Using the minor pentatonic scale on bass is low-risk because most of the notes will work most of the time. The more you play around with the pentatonic, you’ll come to intuitively know which notes are going to work in the moment and which ones are better left alone until later.
