Hi everyone,

I'm at the session 11 on the LMG course and trying to memorize the pentatonic patterns and where the major and minor roots are etc which is slow but steady progress. But one thing I can't understand; if a major and minor pentatonic scales have the same notes (like C major and A minor), what is the purpose of having the two? How can they be used in practice?

My music theory knowledge is very basic so I'm sure there is a lot that I'll be missing.

P.S. I know it's February but this is my first post for the year I think so Happy New Year to everyone :) .

Nairon,   I realize you may have your hands full with the LMG series right now, but if you haven't already done so, and when you have some time,  you might also want to listen to the Live Lessons that Steve did a while back on "How Music Works".    This is a great series on the GG Youtube Channel that helps to explain some of the basics of music theory and why things work the way they do.
