Conspirian Cm shape

Learn how to play the Cm shaped Conspirian scale!

The Cm shape might feel awkward at first.

If you are having problems improvising with it, translate licks you like from other shapes to the Cm shape.

Can you see how the scale is built from the Cm shaped chord?

Maintain the Minor Pentatonic

As you hopefully have noticed by now, in a way you are still practicing the Minor Pentatonic when you practice Conspirian.

This is something that will continue when you enter the modes.

What you are doing when practicing all these exercises is becoming more aware of what intervals are available around each pentatonic shape.

Depending on chord number you then draw you improvisation from: chord shape, arpeggio, mode or any other scale.

The difference between a mode and the Conspirian scale is the added notes.

Instead of the 2 and 6 we add the b5 and maj7. This is why Conspirian works over any minor chord.
