Do pentatonic scales only use black notes?

That is a misconception. Just as you can have a major scale that starts on any of the 12 tones, you can have pentatonic scales starting on any tone as well. It is the spacing and the number of notes that make a scale pentatonic. Incidentally, you can have a pentatonic melody with standard (non-pentatonic) harmonies accompanying it.

Why do you not use the keys b and f in the pentatonic scale?

A major pentatonic scale uses the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th degrees of a major scale, in C major that means we use C, D, E, G, and A and we skip F and B since a major pentatonic scale uses only five notes. Interestingly enough, the word "penta" which is found in the word pentatonic, literally translates into "five tones" (penta-tonic).

What does pentonic mean in music?

Pentatonic music is music written on a pentatonic scale. If you look on a piano keyboard and find a set of 2 black keys and a set of 3 black keys next to each other, that makes a pentatonic scale. Many hymns and a lot of American folk tunes use a pentatonic scale, some good examples are "Amazing Grace", "Jesus Loves Me", "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "Old MacDonald". The main theme of the second movement of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" is also a pentatonic melody. It is possible to play any pentatonic melody on just the black keys of a piano.

Do coldplay include the pentatonic scale?

Coldplay generally use the more "emotional" full major and minor scales. If you're hoping to jam along with their songs you still can, as the pentatonic scales are derived from the majors and minors, so for example if the song is in E minor you can just play in E minor pentatonic. Hope that helped!


What best scale to learn for guitar?

The Pentatonic is by far the most useful, because anything you play with the pentatonic will sound good. Major/Minor pentatonics are exactly the same shapes for related scales e.g. A minor and C major use the same notes, and B minor and D major use the same notes. You only need to add a few notes to get a full Major or Minor scale, of a Modal Scale.The octave ( eight steps single notes) is probably the most easiest, it propably sounds like this do ra me fa so la te do. This can be used with any major scale.
