Thread Name: pentatonic songs
Subject: RE: pentatonic songs
Yeah, but the fourth line of "Always" ("...need a helping hand") is so-la-do-re-mi in a different key from lines 1 and 3. Does that still count as pentatonic? I thought a pentatonic song had to use the SAME do-re-mi-so-la NOTES throughout, in the same key. Please enlighten.

(Actually, whether you read the second line as either so-la-TI-do-re or do-re-mi-FA-so, it's not pentatonic anyway.)
