Major pentatonic would be 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 (e.g. C, D, E, G, A) whereas minor would be 1, b3, 4, 5, b7 (e.g. C, Eb, F, G, Bb)

Thanks for the great explanation. I’m in a punk band and never had traditional lessons, so whenever my friends in the school band talk about music theory I’m completely clueless. This really helps clear things up.

I’ve always liked the idea of visualizing the fretboard as a “map of intervals” rather than just learning tne name of the notes. I guess this is what you are talking about in this nice lesson. Thx !

@Gerzan – Pentatonics literally means five (5) the ‘penta’ part of the word. Like the pentagon and pentagram has 5 sides/points. ’tonics’ means notes.
