How it is built
- Five notes: the minor scale without its 2nd and 6th. No half steps, so every note works over Am, and most work over a blues in A.
- C is the flat third and G the flat seventh. Those two notes are the minor sound; bend G up to A to resolve a phrase.
- Same notes as C major pentatonic, three frets higher.
