What does pentatonic mean?

The word pentatonic has two significant meanings for musicians. Penta means five and tonic tone.  So the pentatonic scale is a five-tone scale. Five sounds organised in a specific sequence and arrived at using intervals. An interval is a unit of measurement. Used to describe distance between tones or chords.

There are two important types of pentatonic scales for musicians.

The first being major the second minor pentatonic.

Minor pentatonic scales are extracted from the seven-note major scale.

We do this by omitting or removing the 4th and 7th notes of the parent major scale.
