Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

The E♭ minor pentatonic scale is a key with a distinctive character — dark, rich, and well suited to jazz, blues, and R&B. On the piano, all five notes fall on black keys (E♭, G♭, A♭, B♭, D♭), making it the pentatonic scale you play when you run your fingers across only the black keys. On guitar, its Box 1 shape at the 11th fret sits high on the neck where bends sing with brilliant sustain.
