About this scale

The minor pentatonic with leading tone (major 7th) is widely used in jazz and fusion guitar. This natural 7th creates a strong pull toward the tonic, perfect for punctuating phrase endings with character. It enriches the classic minor pentatonic without changing its fundamental structure.
