 Things To Remember:

• The Minor Pentatonic scale sounds cool over Minor and Seventh chords, among others
• Generally, the rst chord in a song is the key of the song
• B-C and E-F are only a half step away from each other
• The Pentatonic scale sounds good over rock, blues, pop, reggae, and even more genres
• Marty likes to wear hats
