Hi Everyone,
EDIT - See Below Post For Revised Lesson
Here are the main Pentatonic Scale Patterns for you and how they connect together on the fretboard. The Blue dots represent the Major Tonics (Root notes) and the YellowBlack dots represent the Relative Minor Tonics. Just slide the patterns back and forth on the fretboard to match the Tonic notes up with the key notes you're playing in and you're ready to rock. Generally in rock music if you are playing a song in a major key, your solo will be in the relative minor key. So, if you look at the top pattern, if your song is in the Key of G (the blue dot) you would use the E Minor Pentatonic Scale to solo (the YellowBlack dot). Easy eh?
Here are a couple of Jam Tracks for you to practice with. G Jam Track 1 and G Jam Track 2
(BTW the fattest string is on the bottom in the diagram.)
