This dominant 7 pentatonic pattern sandwiches the tonic key with two full beats of the “outside” key on either side. It starts in the transposed key, moves to the tonic key, and finishes in the transposed key.
Pentatonic Pattern 10

What I like about this pattern is how the “outside” key flows over the bar into the next pattern. This gives you some experience of playing with tension not only by mode, but also by meter.
