Eb minor #7M pentatonic

The minor #7 pentatonic is the minor pentatonic with its flat 7th raised to a major 7th: root, flat 3rd, 4th, 5th, major 7th. It outlines a minor-major 7th chord, the brooding James Bond sonority, and gives melodic or harmonic minor color inside a comfortable pentatonic grip. The half step from 7 up to the root is the whole drama.

it consists of these notes and degrees:

minor #7M pentatonic in all 12 keys, with chords and related scales

tip
  • Minor pentatonic with the b7 (Db) raised to a major 7th: every box you know works, with one fret moved.
  • It outlines a m(maj7) chord: the James Bond sonority in five notes over a Eb minor vamp.
  • Let the VII to root half step end phrases; that is the drama the raised note buys.
  • Alternate it with regular Eb minor pentatonic: shifting the 7th back and forth animates a static minor groove.

How to play E♭ minor #7M pentatonic on guitar

Only the open D string belongs here, sitting a major seventh above the root. Clamp fret 1 and the D minor #7M pentatonic fingering covers it, so the four flats can wait. Box 1 sits high at fret 11, but the D string root at fret 1 gives a low anchor, which means both ends of the neck are usable from the start. Roots also fall at fret 6 on the A.
