Guitar Modal Pentatonic Scales vs Zigzag of Fifths Usage & Stats
All musicians of different styles are familiar to blues scale. However, it is difficult to imagine a musician who would not use the pentatonic scale in his repertoire.
This app contains a unique set of modal pentatonic scales, which you can play over certain chords. There are many different pentatonic scales (Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Some of them have several names. Therefore, in this app we use more academic scale names. Pentatonic scales played on the 6 and 5 strings, with 2 notes on the string (2-2 concept), which contributes to easy learning and memorization. Some pentatonic scales contain extended fingering. The earlier musician starts using extended fingering, the better.

Key signatures are easy with this fun alternative to the circle of fifths!
With the Zigzag of Fifths app, you can:
- Instantly see which notes belong to every key signature, just by dragging the window across the zigzag.
- Visualize how the notes change between key signatures by watching them move on the piano keys.
- Listen to major and minor scales to hear how changing the tonic changes the sound, even when the key signature is unchanged.
- Explore 7 different patterns in the Zigzag of Fifths, including the order sharps and flats are added to key signatures; relative minors; major 2nd and perfect 5th intervals; and more.
- Pick your preferred way to name the notes: English note letter names, Fixed Do solfege, or German note letter names.
