Hello Al Blais
The pitches of the E major scale are:
E F♯ G♯ A B C♯ D♯
Root 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th
The E Major pentatonic consists only of the 5 notes of the E major scale :
root, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th
The root note is E (red circle)
The black circles are:
delta 2 : means 2nd scale degree F♯
delta 3 : means 3rd scale degree G♯
delta p5 : means perfect fifth, fifth scale degree B
delta 6 : means 6th scale degree C♯
I hope I could help you with my explanation.
Enjoy playing, Birgit
