Hi.

I was wondering how the major pentatonic scale is played. I know the minor, and I've been practicing that so I know it by heart, but I haven't found a decent description of the major yet. :?

It someone could show me how the scale is to be played in tabs, htat would be great.

Also I was wondering - and I'm aware of the stupidity of the q - how does one improvise with these scales?

Do you play a couple of the notes in the scale and then makes a minor chord? :oops:

The major pentatonic scale has the same notes as the minor.

If you're playing the A minor pentatonic scale, those notes are identical to the C major pentatonic scale - the only difference is where you center the notes in your melody.

Thanks for the reply.

But I still do not get it... :S

"where you center the notes in your melody."

Maybe you could tell me something about that?
