Dominant Pentatonic

The Dominant Pentatonic is a useful scale with multiple modal applications. It’s spelled
1 2 3 5 b7, which is a Dominant 7 arpeggio with an added 2nd. Generally used over Dominant
7th chords with natural tensions, it has uses for Minor 6, Major 7 #11, and Altered Dominant
chords as well. These applications will be outlined in another sheet. Below are fingerings
