Inside the Crash Course
Five notes, endless new colors...
Everything you need to turn five notes into modern jazz vocabulary — all in one place.
The crash course is divided into five clear sections, each unlocking a new layer of pentatonic power.
Section 1 — Pentatonic Shifting: Explore half-step shifts, voice leading, and rhythmic groupings to create tension and release.
Section 2 — Altered Pentatonics: Unlock dominant ♯5, Lydian dominant, ♯9, and Lydian ♭6 pentatonics and learn exactly how and where they resolve.
Section 3 — Minor Pentatonics & ii–V–I: Reimagine minor pentatonics over ii–V–I progressions, with reordering strategies for complexity and variety.
Section 4 — Intervallic Study: Shift pentatonics systematically by half steps, whole steps, and minor thirds to generate modern, adventurous lines.
Section 5 — Altered Pentatonics & ii–V7–I (Bonus Phrases): Concise, gig-ready ii–V–I phrases with pentatonics labeled under the staff so you can see exactly what’s happening.
This course combines theory, demonstration, and practice tools in one place.
- If you learn best by reading, you’ve got 95 pages of organized material.
- If you’re a visual learner, the graphs and diagrams make the relationships crystal clear.
- If you learn best by listening, the five video lessons bring every example to life.
You’re not just reading about pentatonics. You're actually hearing them, seeing them, and practicing them in context.
