F# Pentatonic Major Scale

The Pentatonic Major Scale is the Major Scale with its 4th and 7th left out, the two notes most likely to clash with a chord. The five that remain sound open and happy and are hard to play wrongly, which is why country, pop and rock players use it for melodies and solos over major chords. It has the same notes as the Pentatonic Minor Scale a minor 3rd below.
