G♯ Major Pentatonic
G♯ · A♯ · B♯ · D♯ · E♯
Five notes drawn from the G♯ major scale, leaving out the two that cause trouble — the fourth and the seventh. With no semitones anywhere in it, G♯ 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.
