This tutorial has practical info on how to use pentatonic boxes to see, play & hear various modes.

Specifically at lesson 5:

I discuss how to use the major pentatonic box as a visual reference guide. But I insert the appropriate diatonic note as necessary to get any given major mode. There is a graphic below the notation that shows these patterns.

The next lesson shows how to do the same thing, but using the minor pentatonic box with the minor modes.

This tutorial also has practical info on how to use pentatonic boxes to see, play & hear various modes.

While this tutorial is focused on modes as specific sequences of intervals, at lesson 16 there is another graphic that shows how I am using the major pentatonic box as a visual reference guide. But I insert the appropriate diatonic note as necessary to get any given major mode.

Hope this helps!
