I’m wondering how we count or label the scale degrees of the pentatonic scale. I know how the degrees relate back to the major or natural minor scales (1-2-3-5-6 or 1-b3-4-5-b7).
But in the context purely of the pentatonic scale, do we label the degrees as 1-2-3-4-5 as in the 4th degree of the minor pentatonic scale (which in reality would be the 5th degree of the natural minor scale)
