Using The Pentatonic b5th Note On The Guitar
Take a standard pentatonic scale in A minor and add the flattened 5th note to it. In Am it’s a D# (or Eb). We have marked the flatten 5th notes in red. Generally its used as a passing note – so played quickly but sometimes it’s a great to stay on this note for an extra beat or 2 to give it a more jazzy sound. Try playing a few licks accentuating this note.
Bend up to the Flattened 5th.
