   Although various hemitonic pentatonic scales might be called minor, the term is most commonly applied to the relative minor pentatonic derived from the major pentatonic, using scale tones 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the natural minor scale. The C minor pentatonic would be C, E-flat, F, G, B-flat. The A minor pentatonic, the relative minor of C, would be the same tones as C major pentatonic, starting on A, giving A, C, D, E, G. This minor pentatonic contains all three tones of an A minor triad.

   E minor penatonic would be E – G – A – B – D – E

   It would be best to ask this type of question on "saxontheweb.net" It is a great website or sax and clarinet.

   There is a one note difference between the minor pentatonic and the blues scale. If you throw a Bb in between the A and B, you have a blues one.

   saxontheweb.net is indeed a good forum, but the forum is currently "down for upgrade" but when they get it back up, it is a great site to get opinions on anything.
