Pianist, composer, educator, arranger, and oddly talkative mime Jeremy Siskind explains how to play a colorful solo using only pentatonic scales, demonstrating on the standard, "You Stepped Out of a Dream." Enjoy - for you, my cherished audience, are the ones who stepped out of a dream for me. (what?)

The single scale pentatonic solution for ii-V-Is offered by Mark Levine is to play the major pentatonic of the V chord over the entire progression. The “problem” with that is that it renders the ii and I chords with “color” and the V chord as bland. Your suggestion of using the pentatonic of the I chord over the progression renders the “color” on ii and V and the I sounds resolved. It’s a small shift of thinking, but it makes a significant difference. Obviously, there’s room for both approaches

May I ask a question? What is your view about chromatic or semi-chromatic enclosures when playing an otherwise pentatonic solo? Would you throw some in, or does that ruin the pentatonic effect?

This is fantastic. Another idea I saw somewhere for playing far out with pentatonics is to use a note from the “correct” pentatonic scale you are playing as a pivot note to switch to a pentatonic scale which shares that note in common. Anyway another fantastic video as always. I’ll have to get the third fundamentals book.

Very cool Jeremy! All of these pentatonics are also great for harmonizing with 6th diminished!

Thanks Jeremy. Superb video as usual. Mark Levine recommends using the pentatonic based on the V to play over a II ,V, I. eg G pentatonic played over Dm, G7, CM. Your thoughts?
