Hi everyone,
I know that Brian has put together a lesson on mixing major and minor pentatonic scales on EP 130 where he mixes A Major pentatonic with A minor pentatonic. I tried this on an AM lesson and it just didn’t sound great.
So I tried some progressions using A Major pentatonic and then mixed in notes from it’s relative minor key which is F# and the scale notes from F# seem to be more varied and sound better to my ears than using A minor notes.
I’m not sure when mixing major with minor why you would stick to the same key ( A Maj with A Min ) and not the relative minor key of A major which is F#.
I don’t know much theory but trying to learn more and I’m working on an AM lesson in A major and want to mix it up with some minor note progressions. Right now I’m using F# minor scale notes which is the relative minor of A Major and it works real well.
Appreciate any input so I can better understand it all.
Thanks,
Tim
