I'm studying scales on my dimi harp. Very funny and looks like I'm searching for very well known things:).
So to make a major scale you need ad a TRITONE to a pentatonic. The 4th and the 7th steps. I'll start again with pentatonics we've already talked about but for now major ones. I will not forget minor pentatonics and next time we'll make minor scales and blues scale out of them.
So for this time let's take the same pictures, but invert them a bit to make parallel major pentatonics.
This is major pentatonic in BLOW position with added 4th and 7th
Since added notes form a tritone( a part of the diminished 7 chord) they are in the same position. I mean they both are draw notes. You see how easy it is to locate all the scale steps:)
1st and 6th are BLOW
3rd and 5th are BEND
2nd, 4th and 7th are DRAW
