Examples

“The major pent is the same minor pent pattern only shifted down 3 frets toward the nut. Like John B told me for Sunshine of your love. Play Bm and then Dm pent and it will sound good. He also pointed out that Bm pent includes the same exact notes as DM pent. So the idea is if the song is in D, try both minor and major pents and see how it works.”
“[> What symbols mean the most to you? For instance, what do you wear around your neck and why?] Usually, a triquetra, although I have ankhs, pents and a spell-bottle on amber beads which I wear if I find it necessary to be *really* annoying :)”
“I have encountered this problem on several computers from 486's to Pents. The only thing I have found to fix it is make sure the CD-Rom cache is set fairly high in the cdrom setup of win 95, and make sure to eliminate ALL unnecessary 16-bit drivers in your autoexec.bat and config.sys.”
