C Major Pentatonic Scale
Construction
5-note scale without the 4th and 7th notes of a traditional major scale. This Major Pentatonic scale is constructed by starting with the root note of C and following a the sequence of steps: W W W+H W W+H. The 'W' (whole step) means to skip a note, and the
'H' (half step), means to pick the very next note. The
final step in the sequence will always end at the root note
(one octave higher).
Here is this process represented visually:
