    pentatonic is a scale...your have a pentatoic major and a pentatonic minor....
    (mods correct me if am wrong)now, the pentatonic major conisists of 5 notes....the 1st 3 notes seperated from the last 3 by 1.5 semitones so...pentatonic major scale for C wud go like this C...D...E...G...A
    the pentatonic minor has 5 notes too( kinda self explainatory.. penta) with the 1st 2 and the last 2 notes seperated by 1.5 semitones and the middle two seperated by 1 semitone...
    hence a pentatonic minor scale for C wud be liike this C...D#...F...G...A#
