Hi, welcome back, come on in. Today we're going to attack the Minor Pentatonic Scale.
If you're a visual learner, write this down on a big piece of something in front of you: 1; flat 3; 4; 5; flat 7; 8.
Now that's stuck in your brain forever, we're going to manipulate your sound to play with "Sob" Quality. Open your throat, smile, don't worry about anything. It's all going to be ok.
The chords in the song section are A minor and D minor.

This Ep we're going to hassle out "Twang quality". We're going to find the strength and supreme delight in getting you nose working when you sing. It's totally a thing.
If you're a visual kind of person, get out something and write this on it:
The Blues Scale: 1; flat 3; 4; flat 5; 5; flat 7; 8.
Then we're gonna sing a Blues song about getting stuff wrong.
