It just fascinates me how fluidly you talk about music. I started playing some of those major and minor pentatonic scales on the mandolin after you wrote your last post above mine. It is always nice to drill yourself to be more conscious of what you are playing. You see when i play the mandolin i am not always conscious of what i am doing. Sometimes I am more aware of the make up of music after the fact. I believe that we can actually find where we came from in the past by are preferences in art and music.

You see I pick up a mandolin and start composing and the music comes out as some sort of Celtic or Irish music from the British Isles. However, I really haven't played or listened to much of it this life. It is just easier to start with pentatonic scales when learning a new instrument. Soon you add a flat 4rth to a minor pentatonic scale and you have a blues scale and that flat fourth would be a flat 3rd in a Major Pentatonic scale.
