Looks like the major scale to me.

Very interesting.

The Super-Pentatonic Scale.

Discrepancy here.This first guy goes on per your post and comes up with a dull, pedantic demonstration.

 

This next guy mixes Major and Minor and gets far cooler results.

Foul!

Those guys stole my idea!  I thought up the term Super-Pentatonic.  Damn, the music business is cutthroat!

Do not turn your back for an instant.

The first guy looks familiar.  I think I saw him playing in a death metal band last week.

Hey I discovered something else! Overlay the three major pentatonic scales in a key and you get the SAME RESULT!!

We obviously have to rewrite all the theory books!!

(Damn it's a hard life being a genius ain't it...)

Quick, copyright your idea! 

May I suggest the name "Uber-Major Pentatonic"?

The Super Pentatonic Scale in the video looks the same as the A Bebop Minor Scale (Bebop Dorian).

Wow, serious bad hair day for Scott Henderson.  Guy looks like a physical wreck.

If you compare to Mr. Gold you can extrapolate some of the thermodynamics of the fold.
