Minor Pentatonic Scale — All 12 Keys
Minor Pentatonic in all 12 keys for guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano — notes, scale degrees, and free printable charts. Five notes, no half-steps against the root — the scale under most rock, blues, and pop guitar and bass solos, and usually the first scale anyone learns.
How the minor pentatonic is built
The minor pentatonic has 5 notes, with the scale degrees R · b3 · 4 · 5 · b7. Those degrees stay the same in every key — only the note names change — which is why the same shape moves up and down the neck.
