G# 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.

tip
  • Minor pentatonic with the b7 (F#) 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 G# minor vamp.
  • Let the VII to root half step end phrases; that is the drama the raised note buys.
  • Alternate it with regular G# minor pentatonic: shifting the 7th back and forth animates a static minor groove.

How to play G♯ minor #7M pentatonic on guitar

Open G spells F## in this key, a major seventh above the tonic, and open B adds a minor third. A capo on fret 1 hands you the G fingering, so the double sharp stops being a reading problem. Box 1 sits at fret 4, where the low E carries the lowest root, which means the first shape is a barre away from the nut. Roots also land at fret 9 on the B.
