Remember the relative minor scale starts at the Major scales 6th interval.

I know this

@TheMadman_tobyjenner

So that 7th of the natural minor scale would be the 5th in the Major scale, a whole tone down from the 6th, so it becomes a b7 as the 7th in the Major is only a semi-tone from the root. Also that flat 3rd is the root of the Major scale. So using that same E shaped pentatonic but calling the flat 3 rd root you get the Major Pentatonic.

Now the eyes are glazing over. I need to read it s-l-o-w-l-y, think about it, perhaps write it out to be able to compare.

But not now, just finished watching the acoustic string change video and need to go change strings on my acoustic (the strings on the guitar are well beyond legal retirement age ). Do the change now and all should be well played in for the upcoming OM!
