Minor pentatonic lines feel great at first.
Played rhythmically in the pocket, they sound solid, robust and familiar.
However after a while, those same five diatonic notes can start to sound bland and predictable—and creativity begins to stall.
The solution? Chromatic embellishment
In this video, Jazzduets introduces a clear, practical note system that decorates the minor pentatonic with non-diatonic tones—adding tension, colour, and forward motion.
The result: cool jazz lines that sound fresh, expressive, and alive.
