Any pentatonic scale contains 5 notes. "Penta" is a prefix meaning 5.
A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave.
There are five main types of pentatonic scales: the major pentatonic scale, the minor pentatonic scale, the blues scale (which can be viewed as a variation of the minor pentatonic), and the two common modal variations—Dorian and Mixolydian pentatonics. Each of these scales consists of five notes, hence the name "pentatonic." In different musical traditions, such as Asian or African music, variations of pentatonic scales also exist, further expanding the concept.
One difference between a whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale is that a whole tone scale has 6 notes per octave while a pentatonic scale has 5 notes per octave. Another major difference is that a whole tone scale has all adjacent notes a whole step apart, while a pentatonic scale does not consist entirely of whole steps, and since a pentatonic scale is only defined as a scale with 5 notes per octave, there are many pentatonic scales that are possible.
Pentatonic scales contain 5 notes, the same way a pentagon has 5 sides.
Five. "Penta" is a prefix meaning "five." A pentatonic is a scale with five notes, the way a pentagon is a shape with five sides.

It depends on the scale in question: * The diatonic scale (seven notes) * The melodic and harmonic minor scales (seven notes) * The chromatic scale (twelve notes) * The whole tone scale (six notes) * The pentatonic scale (five notes) * The octatonic or diminished scales (eight notes) Then of course there are the Indian Swara scales which have varying numbers of notes too.
There are 7 notes in a heptatonic scale. Heptatonic scales are the major and all minor scales including the 7 diatonic scales which are those consisting of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps separated by either 2 or 3 whole steps.

Hangar 18 uses many dark sounding scales such as: aeolian mode(natural minor), phrygian mode and the locrian mode. How ever, Dave Mustaine plays licks from minor pentatonic scale with added chromatic notes. Marty Friedman uses many notes outside of scales witch creates an exotic sound. Uh, Marty solo's way outside any scale and combines different licks to create his sound, making it nearly impossible to track the exact scale combo. but Dave pretty much sticks to the Minor Pentatonic.
A minor scale typically consists of seven steps or notes.
The diatonic scale that is played mostly on the black keys is F# major (also known enharmonically as Gb Major). The scale that is played only on black keys is the five note F# pentatonic scale. (AKA Gb pentatonic scale).
