  • -Guitar Lesson:
    Here I show you how to create chords based on the major pentatonic scale. Some of these chords do not have the normal structure of a conventional harmony chord because this scale only have 5 notes, but they sound very nice if you know how to combine them. The system is relatively easy, you have to use the vertical view of this scale (see scale diagrams below). I hope you like it and enjoy the music. If you have any questions you can ask me.
