EXAMPLE5 funky pentatonics

This nile rodgers-style funk part utilises a palm muted Pentatonic pattern. Shape 1, a minor gives way to shape 5, C minor giving a subtle melodic twist that keAeps this part con1s3iste1n5t and eve1n5, yet reflects the changing chords. Backing right off on the gain and adding a little compression makes this kind of part sound muc3h more tight and percussive.
