C♯ Minor Pentatonic

C♯ · E · F♯ · G♯ · B
Five notes — root, minor third, fourth, fifth, and flat seventh — and probably the single most-played scale in rock history. C♯ Minor Pentatonic is easy to finger, sits under the hand in five movable shapes, and sounds good over almost any minor or blues progression. If you learn one scale for lead guitar, learn this one.
