    Chick Corea style 5 over 4 Gm pentatonic scale pattern


    This is a simple and cool technique for playing 5 over 4 lines.


    It's simply a 4 note Gm pentatonic sequence with a single rest in between each 4 note sequence, giving you a 5 over 4
    (quintuplet) feel, without having to work out and actually play quintuplets.


    It uses slurs which further fluidifies the sound.


    There are actually many ways to pick this. This first - as I show here - is simply to use
    alternate picking. The 2nd which I will leave up to you, is to use hybrid picking and alternate beween the
    middle, ring and pick.


    Remember, I give private lessons so hmu if you're interested. More info on my website.

    What's the chord punches in the background? Pentatonic triads, maybe?

    Yes, good ear. Gm Pentatonic triads with the high note duplicating the melody note.
