10 features of the natural pentatonic scale on piano and guitar

    1. The Black keys on the keyboard are the natural pentatonic

    Start on D# for the Minor and F# for the major.

    2. All of the “avoid “ notes on a major key or it's modes

    3. By shifting it a half step in both directions you cover all the notes in the major scale

    4. It is made up of only 2 intervals: the whole step and the minor third

    5. Contains all intervals except half step, tritone and major 7th

    6. On guitar you can play it diagonally with all notes 2 frets apart

    7. The “black keys” of the piano map to the frets of a guitar with a repeating pattern of 2-3

    8. On guitar you can play it in three string pairs of 3 fret spreads: cover the remaining note with a slide up

    9. On guitar each next note is available as either 2 frets up on the same string and three frets down on the next or 3 frets up on the same string and 2 frets down on the next

    10. On perfect fourths tuning the patterns repeat rotating on the neck like a barber pole
