The Brown’stone: New Pentatonic Shape – “The Ramp”

This week in The Brown’stone on No Treble, I’ve got a great shape for you to use that perfectly compliments the minor pentatonic scale. It’s a shape that I’m calling “The Ramp,” and it’s so simple, you’ll be adding this to your vocabulary in no time.

So grab your bass, and let’s get into this. You’re gonna dig it!
