Power of The Pentatonic With Bobby McFerrin

Bobby McFerrin is one of a kind. In the first part of the video he sings an interesting song that probably was improvised. There is a 10 sec pause and then we get to see him demonstrate how we all, for some odd reason, collectively know the pentatonic scale. It's interesting to watch his demonstration.

I love Bobby...look at how much unbridled joy and delight he takes in music! He's like a big kid with the ultimate toy!

He's one of the few musical geniuses alive on earth, in my opinion.

And no, no one from Coldplay or under 35 years old or whose primary instrument is an acoustic guitar makes that list. Sorry.
