Dictionary: F# Major Pentatonic Scale


The F-sharp major pentatonic scale is convenient to use for improvising solos and composing melodies over an F-sharp major chord progression, especially if you are unsure whether to use the Lydian, Ionian, or Mixolydian mode at any given moment.  It's almost foolproof in that manner.
