About the E major pentatonic scale
The major pentatonic scale is a five-note scale derived from the major scale by removing the 4th and 7th degrees. This eliminates all half steps, producing a consonant, pleasant, and universally appealing sound. It is used across virtually every musical tradition worldwide, from folk to pop to country to rock.
