Penatonic Scale

I'm home! But i thought i'd share with ya'll a cool video that we were shown in my Freshman inquiry class on Music. They have lots of different inquiry classes here and you can pick from a variety of different subjects. I chose the music one because duh. And it's designed for non-music people and it's kinda fun. But i have issues with it because it's really long... But it's still cool. We do drum circles. But we learned about the Pentatonic scale. And we saw this video.

Basically the pentatonic scale is using only five tones, usually the first, second, third, fifth, and sixth tones of a diatonic scale. And basically the idea is that all people know the five notes really easily and they are like engrained in your brain.
