The notes used will be La, Do, Re, Mi, and So, or A, C, D, E, and G: Notice that the A minor pentatonic scale is the relative minor scale of C major, and therefore uses the same notes, but starting on a different pitch #Pentatonicscales contain five notes, which is how it gets its name (Penta=5, tonic = tones). There is a #majorpentatonic scale and a #minorpentatonic scale. The awesome part is that they contain the same note intervals (with differing roots), so the patterns are the same. You just need to learn a new root note.Dec 20, 2015
