I keep hearing raves from rock music authors about the Pentatonic scale. I'm a bit puzzled about this.
I play songs in major scale, that are supposed to have been played in pentatonic scale by top guitarists, (Clapton, Hendrix) and I like my style fine.
For one thing, a pentatonic has only 5 notes, wheras a major scale has 7. So there's supposed to be something good about playing less notes ?
Seems to me with less notes, you have less music. I want my songs to be MORE musical, not less.
