Just by adding one note to the pentatonic minor you get the blues scale.
Pentatonic major
The tune to Amazing Grace is in a Pentatonic Major.
To visualize pentatonic scales, go to the piano (or ask a friend that can play one), play only the black keys, the major pentatonic will start on F# and the minor pentatonic will start on D#.
