Just try to listen for what those extra notes add to the scale, what sounds, what feelings. Then you can think of the pentatonic scale as the shell, or frame, and the other notes as spices or little extras :).

That's awesome Ben, I didn't think in scales that way, it's a great way to see it and to start to play with that concept, I'm going to sit with my guitar and start to apply what you just told me and latter I post in here to keep this thread alive, no one told me that of mixing the scales with modes that way, so I'm on it now!!!

Really thanks Ben!! It's awesome to see how musicians in other parts of the world are so humble and well disposed, thanks a lot Ben!
