We're going to learn the C major pentatonic scale and some theory behind it which makes it usable right away!

Key Points:

  • Major pentatonic is a reduced major scale

  • Relative major and minor pentatonics, same as with major/ minor keys

  • Relative major/minor - C major and A minor easiest to remember

  • Shape 5 covered here (shape 1 minor is same as shape 5 major. Why? Because shape 1 always starts 1st finger string 6)
