good morning, afternoon or evening today I bring you some definitions and some images with explanations of the scale major catatonia located in the note of La (A) greater
The pentatonic scale is one of the oldest and most extended and one of the most used in the world of music in rock habit the guitarist best known as slash of all his songs or in the groups where he plays 98% of his songs use the Greater Pentatonic, and it is believed that his origin is Japanese or Mongolian. It is an important part of all Oriental, African and Celtic music. The two pentatonic scales, major and minor, are related in the same way as the major and minor diatonics: from the highest to the lowest there are three semitones (1/2) downwards, and from the lowest to the highest three semitones upwards. Thus, the pentatonic scales of Do and A minor share the same notes and intervals, since the smaller is the relative of Do
The pentatonic scales are used much more than any other synthetic (or non-diatonic) scale due to their melodious sound.
Many riffs, solos, intros, and clichés used by rock, blues and jazz guitarists are based on a pentatonic scale.
The major pentatonic scale is a scale of five notes, and differs from the major diatonic in that two notes are omitted, the fourth (4th) and the seventh (7th).
Formula of the major pentatonic scale: (1, 2, 3, 5, 6)
Notes of the major scale of La:
La (A) - Si (B) - Do # (C #) - Re (D) - Mi (E) - Fa # (F #) - Sun # (G #)
The notes of the major scale are obtained by applying this pattern:
Tone - Tone - Halftone - Tone - Tone - Tone - Halftone
We apply the formula of the major pentatonic scale to the scale
greater than La and we obtain these notes:
The (A) - Yes (B) - Do # (C #) - Mi (E) - Fa #
The major pentatonic scale of La (A) on the guitar
In the fingering by patterns we begin with the pattern 2, since the tonic is in the first (1st) and sixth (6th) strings and it will be easier to locate it. The note La (A) on these strings is found on the 5th fret.
without more anything to say my dear users we will be uploading more post on more scales other than now is that there is
