Major Pentatonic

The major pentatonic scale relates to the major scale in the same way the minor version of this scale relates to the relative minor scale. This scale is a smaller, five note version of the major scale. The scale is usually used over a major triad or power chord for a country or country rock type of sound. Use the scale below over an A major triad, A power chord,, or a progression in the key of A major that centers around an A major triad or an A power chord.

This type of scale is used from time to time in rock and metal, so don't get turned off to it because i mentioned the word country...Lol
