The idea for this post came from something I saw online recently, pertaining to a series of "spread out" piano voicings for the Major Pentatonic Scale (in C: C-D-E-G-A).
Being the "curious" person that I am (I've been called worse), I imagined how these Pentatonic "spreads" might sound as single-note arpeggios and sequences.
As it turns out, approaching the Major Pentatonic Scale from this angle produces a somewhat novel, intervallic, Kalimba-like effect.
By itself, this perspective can function as an excellent warm-up exercise, building technique as well as creating another look as to how one imagines and expresses the Major (or any other) Pentatonic Scale.
