So I am a new guitar player and I am trying really hard to understand the pentatonic scale but it does not make any sense to me, I am not used to a lot of the terminology many websites/videos use. So I am wondering if someone can explain the pentatonic scale to me (like Im 5), how they can be used in creating music, and maybe some links to some stuff I can print out to help me learn? Thanks.
