The major pentatonic scale is built from the intervals root (1), second (2), major third (3), fifth (5) and sixth (6). Starting with each of these steps, a new fingering is formed, resulting in five different patterns. To play such a pattern in a key other than A major, it must be moved according to the transposing table.
