What are the notes of the A minor pentatonic scale?
For the A minor pentatonic scale, this gives us the notes A, C, D, E, and G. Note that the intervals that make up the Am pentatonic scale are universal to all minor pentatonic scales. The only thing that changes is the root note from which the scale is built.
