Burning down is right about one thing though - The scale you're playing isn't a pentatonic after the first octave. that 345 pattern in there is a different scale.

Think about it, a pentatonic scale is PENT-atonic. Pent meaning five, like pentagon.

If you look at the second octave of your scale, there are six notes. Thats not right for a pentatonic. You're adding in that Eb for some reason, which is what would happen in a blues pentatonic, not a traditional pentatonic.
