Pentatonic
----------

This is a basic five-note scale (hence the name)
that is used a lot in rock and blues due to its
simple shape. It shape allows the use of diads to add
a fuller sound.

This scale also sounds very basic, and has a lot of use by Noel
Gallagher. This is why his solos sound bland and uninspired.

It keeps the minor pentatonic shape, but this time start from 
the note shown above. So, for the G Major pentatonic, play the
Em pentatonic starting on G
