Major & Minor Pentatonic Scale Explained
Think of a C major scale with the notes C D E F G A B and C AKA the C Ionian mode. The pentatonic scale has only five notes--omits the 4 and the 7 of the scale. For example: C Major pentatonic notes are: C D E (NO F) G A (NO B) C. The relative minor pentatonic is A Minor pentatonic--Notes are A C D E G. Hope this helps.

What I like about pentatonic scales is that they remove the 2 notes in the scale that follow another note by 1/2 step. Removes any possibility of disonance or tension when riffing over
the chord being played.
