What kind of guitar scale did I “discover”?












2














I barely know any music theory but I love experimenting with notes and finding two-note chords that sound cool on my guitar. I'm self-taught so I don't know any proper scales, but I've been playing this progression below and I've found that any three notes together sound really good, as well as going up/down the scale. Is there a name for this?



e  --2------5--
B ----3----5--
G --2---4-----
D --2---4-----
A ------------
E ------------


So it starts on E and goes W 3H W 3H W W 3H.

          As listed, your scale includes E F♯ A B D E; you then add a remaining F♯ A that is, strictly speaking, not necessary to determine this collection.



          You have a pentatonic scale (so named because it has five notes), but more than that it's a rotation of the standard major pentatonic scale.



          A normal major pentatonic scale with this collection starts on D: D E F♯ A B D. But you rotate it to begin on E instead. Perhaps there's some name out there for this somewhere, otherwise we can just call it the second mode of the major pentatonic, "second mode" indicating that we rotate the collection to start on the second pitch.
