Does anybody ever raise the 7th tone on the minor pentatonic? So instead of it being 1, b3, 4, 5, b7. It's 1, b3, 4, 5, 7. I use the raised 7th more than the flat 7th. IMO the raised 7th has a very nice modern sound to it and when used in the lick like "TheWizard" wrote. It lends to more of a progressive sound. Just wondering if anyone else has tried or uses that.
