Minor pentatonic scale

We have now produced two further tables showing which notes are taken from the full A minor scale to create the minor pentatonic scale.

Figure 17. Notes and intervals of A minor scale (Enlarge)

Figure 18. Notes and intervals of A minor pentatonic scale (Enlarge)

As we can see from our table above, the minor pentatonic scale only uses these notes from the A minor scale:

1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th

Next: Blues scale
