World Science Festival 2009: Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale

[Dean_M]

Bobby McFerrin is a genius! Every time I see or hear him I'm blown away by something... usually it's his vocal prowess and the command of his vocal chords that he has fine tuned to make a wide range of sounds along with beautiful singing.

Here is a cool video that guitarists / vocalists will love - demonstrating the power of the Pentatonic scale and ease of vamping over top of it.
