Major Pentatonic guitar scale
See the Major Pentatonic scale on a guitar fretboard, learn its notes and degrees, and practice it in any key.
What it is
A five note major scale: the major scale without its 4th and 7th, the two notes that clash most. Sweet, open and singable.
How to use it
Play it over major chords in country, pop, rock and gospel solos. Every note sounds good over the chord. The 6th adds a sweet colour; end phrases on the root or the 3rd.
