5/6/7 Note Scales

This line study in A minor demonstrates three distinct approaches to improvisation by integrating different scale choices into a single melodic idea. The three scales used are:

  • Minor Pentatonic: A C D E G
  • Blues: A C D Eb E G
  • Dorian: A B C D E F# G

Each of these scales can function independently as the basis for improvisation. In this study, however, the focus is on combining elements from all three to create a unified line.
