C Hirajoshi
C · D · E♭ · G · A♭
One of the best-known Japanese pentatonics, C Hirajoshi uses the root, second, minor third, fifth, and flat sixth. The gap between the flat sixth and the root, and the semitone in the middle, give it a spare, contemplative sound. A favourite of guitarists looking for something exotic that's still only five notes to learn.
