    I once had put this link here, but since I started using Wordpress, all my other links went kapoowee. (very bad, Wordpress!)

    So now it is here:

    Thanks for the new link!

    I think I took exception when you posted harmonics 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 for the pentatonic scale. My understanding is that harmonics 16, 18, 20, 24, 27 actually represent a pure pentatonic scale: 16, 18, 20, 24 are an octave above 8, 9, 10, 12, and 27 (A) is a perfect fifth above 18 (D).

    thnx chuck. i wasn't going for the 'pure' pentatonic scale as much as showing that in the primary harmonics, the pentatonic scale and chord builds are quite evident.

    quote at end of vid

    "it doesn't matter where I am; they get it... the pentatonic scale... for some reason...."

    well, the reason IS... the harmonic series
