There's lots of music that uses notes from pentatonic scales,
so you can jam along to a piece of music without having
to learn the whole tune.

I've got a pentatonic scale open in front of me,
and you might notice that there are six notes on the
screen, not five.

That's because note one at the bottom
and note six at the top are the same.

They're just low and high versions of each other.

So using this simplified version of the scale
with five notes instead of eight,
it makes it more accessible.

So I've got this sound on at the moment,
but you might want to change it to something else.

Pieces like Elvis's 'Heartbreak Hotel', Wham! 'Wake Me Up'
and even Taylor Swift 'All Too Well' are in C Major,
which means you can play them along
with this pentatonic scale.

So here's an example of jamming along
to a very well known song that you're gonna recognize
as soon as we hit play.

[WHAM! - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go] can be heard on the radio, and is accompanied by the player on he Clarion.

So there's an example of how you can play along to anything.
There's no right or wrong way to jam along using a pentatonic scale.

Some pieces of music might sound a bit funny,
and you might need some trial and error to find one that 
works really well 
with your favorite tune.

But keep trying, and if not,
you can just enjoy playing different patterns.

It's really easy to be creative using a pentatonic scale.
So have a look through the different patterns.
Find your favorite one and play along to your favorite song.
