C Major Pentatonic

The C major pentatonic chord uses all five notes of the C major pentatonic scale (C, D, E, G, A), creating a bright, open cluster chord that captures the essence of the pentatonic sound. This five-note voicing avoids the half-step intervals found in traditional scales, resulting in a harmonically consonant and versatile chord perfect for contemporary and folk styles.
