You are very welcome - let me know if you have questions to the use of Pentatonic scales :)
All the best

For the last example, how does Bb minor pentatonic fit into G7altered? It sounds great, but I cannot relate it to your first explanation - Aminor pentatonic scales can be used Am7(add11), C6(add9), F9/13, Dm(9/11), C7, Bb9(#11). We should add F#altered to Aminor to pentatonic use-cases?

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

The Bb minor pentatonic scale is also the Db major chord if you play the Bbm pentatonic from the Db
Db Eb F Ab Bb then you get the Db 6 chord - the tritone dominant to C - and also the G7 altered dominant to C
F# altered could be Am pentatonic too! Indeed.
I see you write F9/13 - that should be Fmaj6/9 - I am not sure If I say this correct in the video.
The F9/13 has an Eb and the Am pentatonic has an E. That is why chord should be Fmaj6/9
Hope I make sense here :)

thank a ton!!!!!! superb!!
