Major Pentatonic Guitar Scales

Video Transcript

"Okay, so we've discussed the C major scale already, with C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. It's an eight note scale. Now we're going to discuss the pentatonic major scale. That means five notes, so, it's almost like an outline of the C major scale, if you'll notice. We have the C and the D, we have the E, we skip the F, we go to the G, we go to the A, we skip the B and we go to the C. So one, two, three, four, five, and then your octave. And the next octave. So it's almost like an outline of the scale, with only really core notes involved that really outline what's going on. I add extra notes sometimes when I play it. And it's a movable shape, so A major pentatonic is going to be the fifth, seventh, fourth, seventh, fourth, seventh, fourth, sixth, fifth, seventh, fifth."
