Hi all re: BIAB 2016
Does anyone know how I can find minor styles in the Style Picker?
I want to practice minor(s) Pent, Dorian etc.
I thought there use to be a column showing the Key but I can't find it.
Thanks for your inputs.

In my opinion this is possible in any style you choose where minor tonality and need some bluesy style. then write one pentatonic scale which you want to train
Certainly there are also exercises done in a AddOns 101 Blues Guitar
Styles are neither minor or major. They merely respond to the chord progression you provide. So you would need a minor chord progression on the chord grid, then choose any style you wish.
Thanks for the replies.

I taught my students the minor pentatonic scales using a simple blues pattern. Say we set up a 12 bar blues pattern in the key of A. Put each chord in one measure like this A-A-A-A-D-D-A-A-E7-D-A-E7. Note that you add any extension you want to any chord, i.e. A7, D9, E13 etc. Now play the Am Pent scale over each chord. Then the Am pent over A, Dm pent over D, etc. First practice each pent scale then mix things up to make a blues song. My students really like this approach and learned the pent scales very fast.
Then we got into some theory were the Am pent chord was the same as the C major pent chord, but that is a topic for another time.
I hope this helps.
MarioD: thanks for the tip. Will give it a go.
