Escala Pentatônica blues: um relato de experiência no curso de guitarra da escola de música Lilah Lisboa de Araújo

Abstract

This research suggests demonstrating the blues pentatonic scale as an indispensable tool in guitar study with regard to improvisation. Its organization was based on the improvisation of four EMEM students from the 2017 Guitar Course. In order to analyze the examples that follow, the researcher establishes an analysis parameter consisting of a minor pentatonic scale as a basis for improvisation for each student, followed by drawings of this scale so that the student would have one more skill at the time of improvisation, precisely to use the entire guitar neck. The parameter was established of degrees of harmony according to the given scale, and the penta pattern 0 (which corresponds to the blues note) will demonstrate the number of notes out, that is, through the improvisation of each student (example) the level of conscious notes that this student can execute will be demonstrated, even if they are basic level students. The result was four of the selected students performing the blues pentatonic scale covering the entire guitar neck and allowing the students to use a drawing to create the range of new sounds within the same scale
