The pentatonic scale has a very distinct, instantly recognisable and pleasing sound that can be layered over many other chords and scales. For these reasons it is frequently found to be a key component of many popular songs.

What are notations?
Notations in simple words are like how you have letters in English; in the same way, you have musical notations to read the music.
