Scale: C flat three pentatonic
Description: A label used for pentatonics that emphasise the ♭3 degree; in many libraries this corresponds to the standard minor pentatonic 1, ♭3, 4, 5, ♭7. It brings the 'blue' minor third to the fore and is basic vocabulary for blues and rock melodies over major and dominant harmony alike.
