Keith Whalen - N. Slonimsky's "Thesaurus" - Pentatonics Ex: 1142-1171

What key would you play this over?

[KeithWhalen11]

@dakotamanomgwtf It all depends. That is too broad a question, for such a broad range of sequences. Your best bet is to narrow down what scale degrees are retained in a specific pentatonic sequence and figure out which chord works best with it.

Sounds great man !! All you people asking for tabs - just LEARN TO FUCKING READ music ... that is all. Peace :)

[KeithWhalen11]

@Phagedaena Hahaha, although I agree I wouldn't want to phrase it that way! I don't read especially well which is why I did the work to begin with. I wish I started reading and studying music when I was younger, I have too much to contend with to give it a serious go.

@Phagedaena

It's easy to read music but harder to sightread, unless that's what you mean.

[GuitarOddysey]

This is especially good to get the sounds into your ear, it can be hard sometimes to read the notes off the page without knowing what it's going to sound like. I'm interested in the tabs, would you please share them with me? This is definitely going into blog post soon...

[KeithWhalen11]

@GuitarOddysey What blog post? Hehehe. I'm all for sharing the tabs but I don't know if I want them so readily available unless it's going to be on my own blog page.

[GuitarOddysey]

@KeithWhalen11 Sorry, wasn't clear, I meant to say that I am going to use this video for a blog post about slonimsky as a reference to those pentatonic sounds. The tabs were just for me! :)

[KeithWhalen11]

@GuitarOddysey Cool man, as long as you cite me hahahaha. Send me your email my friend and I'll get you the tabs.

It doesn't make sense to ask for tabs. Many of the examples in this book can be fingered several different ways. Furthermore, how you finger them depends on whether you're a sweep/economy player, an alternate picker, or a hybrid picker.

Please read this vid info

its very informative

[Modes9]

The kid is a virtuoso...

[vidi74]

Interesting stuff!!

[Timotheedle]

[KeithWhalen11]
