Well, at the recommendation of the boards, I've been studying the pentatonic scale tutorial, and beginning to work on the shape of the pentatonic scale. But being the curious sort, I do have one silly question about it: Why?
Why are we taking a perfectly good, nice sounding, doe-a-dearing, traditional major scale and stripping away 2 perfectly good tones that have done nothing to offend anyone?? ;)
OK, I'm joking about how I phrased the question, but I am truly curious, why do we not just play the major scale, why do we need to cut it down to 5 tones. Not a huge concern, I'll do what I'm told :) , and it seems to be the component of a lot of solos, I'm just curious as to why that is. Thank you for any replies I may receive!!
Peace,
Tom
