Above list simply reveals that instead C Chinese you can use much more common F Major pentatonic or D minor pentatonic.

graphicTip:
If you are interested in fingerstyle playing then skipping some strings can really open your eyes to some patterns on guitar fretboard.Look for example Image below.This is an E Major scale but showing only 1st and 2nd string and bass (low E) string.Try improvising using just notes you see here and almost everything you do will sound good!
