minor pentatonic scale

[insomniac2295]

can anyone tell me the shape of a minor pentatonic scale?

[DocBop]

Take a Major Pentatonic and start from the 6th degree. Wa-la Minor Pentatonic. Just like a major scale and its relative minor are the same notes so is Major Pentatonic and relative Minor Pentatonic. If you know C Major Pentatonic you know A Minor Pentatonic.

Hey there Insomniac ... your my neighbor ... drop me a note if you have questions on this ...

[mutedeity]

Minor Pentatonic has the degrees {1,b3,4,5,b7}

So if you start from C the notes will be C Eb F G Bb

In a diatonic sense this could be played over any minor chord in a i iv v (minor) progression.
