Ah, OK, I see... Well, somehow I still have more understanding for it in the major and minor scales than with pentatonic... can't say why though
I'll always refer to them as just the pentatonic scale!
Thought a bit now though... because, let's say A minor and A major... if I am asked to play A minor scale, starting from A, and then play A major scale, starting from A, they have different shapes... if asked to change from A minor pentatonic to A major pentatonic, starting from A, the shapes are STILL the same. I guess that's why I think of it as rather unnessecary to call the pentatonic major/minor, even though it sounds different whether played under a major or minor key...
