The first scale most guitarists learn — five notes that carry rock, blues and pop solos. The relative of the major pentatonic.
| Notes | F#, A, B, C#, E |
|---|---|
| Steps | 3 – 2 – 2 – 3 – 2 (semitones) |
Root notes are red. The full map of the scale on the guitar neck; the common box patterns are groups of these notes.
The same scale on a ukulele in standard G–C–E–A tuning.
