This is a lesson on what I call 'artificial pentatonic scales.' These are pentatonics, within which one or two of the notes get tweaked outside of the natural pentatonic formulas.

The Greek Modes, the modes of the Harmonic and Melodic Minor scales are 21 shapes altogether. When you master these, you can play through a good deal of jazz tunes in the Real Book.
