C Ionian Pentatonic
C · E · F · G · B
A five-note distillation of the major scale, C Ionian Pentatonic keeps the root, third, fourth, fifth, and major seventh. Dropping the second and sixth while retaining the seventh gives it a more angular, wide-interval character than the familiar major pentatonic. Useful over major seventh chords when the usual pentatonic sounds too predictable.
