Learning

Ok so I was going to use my memorization of roots in order to remember the applicable pentatonic shape. (Let’s call that Plan A). But that wasn’t working. So I was then going to use the instructor’s method of remembering scales by their chord shapes. But that wasn’t working. I liked, though, how with his method, it greatly organizes things by simplifying choices. (Let’s call that Plan B). But what is working?

What is helpful is mixing the “best of” both plans. I’ll use the ‘finding root method’ instead of using chord shapes. BUT, I’ll use how Plan B organizes things. And it’s working! Plan C to the rescue!
