    Yup, and simply use those same notes, but start from C#, and you've got your relative minor, C# Minor Pentatonic. (same difference).

    Great thanks! If I wanted to transpose that into another key like say G then would this be right?

    G, A, B, C#, E, G

    G, A, B, C#, E, G
    Close but your C# should really be a D (i.e., it's up a step and a half and D is the 5th of the G major scale).

    Re: What scale is this?

    According to my research it could be:

    Pentatonic Minor-C#, Pentatonic Major-E or Pentatonic Neutral-F#.

    It could, however, if you don't mind a few extra notes, also be:
    Major-A, Ionian-A, Lydian-A, Locrian-A#, Major-B, Ionian-B,
    Dorian-B, Mixolydian-B, Dominant 7th-B, Blues-C#, Dorian-C#,
    Phrygian-C#, Aeolian-C#, Lydian-D, Phygian-D#, Locrian-D#, Major-E, Ionian-E, Lydian-E, Mixolydian-E, Dominant 7th-E, Dorian-F#, Mixolydian-F#, Aeolian-F#, Dominant 7th-F#, Phrygian-G#, Aeolian-G#,
    Locrian-G# or Diminished-G#.

    I think.

    That's what my spreadsheet tells me :)

    OK, will go to my room.... Again..
