This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about the Pentatonic Scale. Technically, a Pentatonic Scale is any scale with 5 notes. However, when people use the term ‘Pentatonic scale’ they are generally referring to the Major Pentatonic Scale.

The Major Pentatonic Scale is a very consonant & pleasant sounding scale. Pentatonics are a good way of avoiding ‘Avoid Notes’ or ‘Unavailable Tensions’. And, just like any other pre-existing scale, you can create modes out of the Major Pentatonic Scale by starting and ending the scale on a different note (i.e. selecting a different root note).
