E Major Pentatonic
E · F♯ · G♯ · B · C♯
Five notes drawn from the E major scale, leaving out the two that cause trouble — the fourth and the seventh. With no semitones anywhere in it, E Major Pentatonic is famously forgiving: almost anything you play sounds consonant. It's the first scale most lead guitarists learn, and the backbone of country, folk, blues-rock, and countless pop solos.
