E flat minor pentatonic scale

The E flat minor pentatonic scale has five notes: E♭ – G♭ – A♭ – B♭ – D♭. It is the natural minor scale without the second and sixth, which is why it rarely clashes with the chords of the key.

Which chords it works over

It sounds right over E♭m and the other chords of E flat minor, and over a blues in E♭. The same notes make the G♭ major pentatonic.
