nope.... my hearing isn't that bad, that's definitely what I was taught as a country scale - as for accuracy of the teacher, who can say... :eek:

As fretspider said, country players seem to use major pents with added chromatics for passing notes - mostly fifths and flattened thirds by the looks of it.

Gennation, when you recommend that people read your tutorial, could you be more specific as regards the topic in discussion? It's a very comprehensive piece of work, but if you could give a lesson number that relates it would make it easier to navigate.

Good tutorial on Pents though.... I doff my cap... :D
