	Jazz scales
		The major pentatonic scale begins with a major scale and omits the fourth and the seventh scale degrees: a C major scale is {C, D, E, F, G, A, B}, so a C major pentatonic scale would be {C, D, E, G, A}.
		The minor pentatonic scale could more accurately be called a mode, as it comprises the same notes as the major pentatonic scale, but begins on the sixth scale degree of the corresponding major scale.
		The nomenclature, "minor pentatonic scale," is confusing, since this scale is actually constructed from a major scale; the term minor is employed in the sense of relative minor[?].

		In music, an altered scale is a scale in which all of the notes of the scale except the tonic have been flattened (lowered in pitch) by an interval of a half step from a major scale.
		The nomenclature, "minor pentatonic scale," minor is employed in the sense of relative key, as the diatonic A minor scale is the relative minor of the diatonic C major scale.
		An example is C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-B-C. This scale can be used on the chords of a song in C minor, or in a song in C major, where the resolution at the end of a series of chords returns to the major.

	Scales for Improvising Jazz
		This scale was commonly used by jazz improvisers of the late bebop era, e.g.
		On a dominant 7th chord the sharpened 11th is supplied by using the melodic minor scale whose root is the 5th of the chord (ex 11q).
		This scale is often called the altered scale as it supplies many of the notes that are possible to alter on a dominant 7 chord.

	ON SCALES, CHORDS, AND PROGRESSIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This movement from a diatonic scale to a melodic minor a half-step above the "dominant" chord (the "dominant" being the "in-between" seventh chord in a 1-4-7, #4-7-3, 3-6-2, 2-5-1 progression or anything having a similar relation of intervals) then back to the diatonic scale may be generally referred to as a Major 2-5-1 progression.
		The C scale would be implemented for the Bmi7b5 and Ami chords, and a harmonic minor beginning on A could be used during the E7 or E7 altered episode.
		Also, because of its intervallic relationship to the tonic scale, it may be treated as a tritone substitute, and harmonized with the melodic minor scale based on the 6 of the scale, or the #2 harmonic a bit less effectively.
