Michael Rubin beat me to it anyway John. Did you get that? By the way, it is 'the black note scale' - what you get when you play the black notes on a keyboard from F# to D#.

Rick,
	The major pentatonic scale (sometimes called the country scale)  is  
made up of the following scale degrees: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, octave (I  
think).  I can actually figure it out for myself, but i was  too lazy  
to sit down and do it, so i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
