Guitar Glossary 

 

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, 5 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 sometimes in rock and metal. Not so much, though.
