Hybrid Pentatonic Scales
The Minor and Major Pentatonic scales can be combined, resulting in a hybrid scale. The Hybrid Pentatonic is often used when soloing over a
dominant seventh chord, which can involve notes from both the Minor and Major Pentatonic.
The Hybrid Pentatonic Scale consists of eight notes. The scale degrees from the Minor part are 1, b3, 4, 5, b7 whereas the scale degrees from the Major part are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6.
