If you do the math, 4 out of 5 is 80%.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve realized that 80% of the scale tones of the C major pentatonic scale are the chord tones of the C major sixth chord, let&#8217;s go ahead and realize the remaining 20%.<\/p>\n<h3>How To Determine The Additional 20% Of The Major Pentatonic Scale<\/h3>\n<p>The remainder note of the pentatonic scale is easy to determine; especially for anyone who is conversant with the major natural major scale. Peradventure you&#8217;re not conversant with the tones of the natural major scale, you can still determine the remainder note by paying great attention to the next few lines.<\/p>\n<p>A whole step above the root of every major sixth chord is the remainder note of the major pentatonic scale.
