Here is a scale reference of all 12 notes used in western music:
Chromatic-scale reference:
G, G# , A , A# , B , C , C# , D , D# , E , F , F# , G , G# , A , A# etc
The minor pentatonic step pattern:
Tone & 1/2 , Tone , Tone , Tone & 1/2 , Tone
If we take the example of C; a tone-&-1/2 (or three semitones) up from C is D#, a tone up from D# is F and a tone up from F is G. The next step is a tone-&-1/2 (or three frets) once again, giving us an A#. Finally, we have a last tone step which gives us our root note of C.
The C minor-pentatonic scale is therefore:
C , D# , F , G , A# , C
