Pentatonic & Blues Scales

The four five/six-note scales built by removing or adding notes from a major scale — major and minor pentatonic, and minor and major blues.

What's inside

• The four scales — major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, minor blues, major blues — built by removing or adding notes, with their sound
• All four scales written out in six common keys
• Why nothing clashes in a pentatonic scale, and how to bend the blue note
• Where you'll hear each scale, and the five-black-keys shortcut to Gb major pentatonic
