[Harp-L] re: pentatonic scales




Sorry for using jargon. Penta means 5. Pentatonic scale is a five note scale. The black keys on the piano is an example of a pentatonic scale. The 2 pentatonic scales I use most for rock are the major and minor pentatonic scale.
C major pentatonic scale: C D E G A
which is the same notes as the A minor pentatonic scale
A minor pentatonic scale: A C D E G


The Allman Brothers and the Dead use a major pentatonic scale a lot. Reggae uses a minor pentatonic scale a lot.
