In this lesson you’ll learn the minor pentatonic scale and use it (along with the major scale) to play the bluegrass classic “Reuben’s Train” in the key of D. Pentatonic scales have five notes (hence the name), as opposed to the major scale, which has seven notes. The minor pentatonic scale consists of the root, flatted third, fourth, fifth, and flatted seventh. Mike shows you a closed position for the D minor pentatonic scale, which you can move to other keys, and then walks you through “Reuben’s Train” phrase by phrase, including some variations on each part.
