Minor Pentatonic Scales
The Minor Pentatonic scale is the most widely used scale in Rock and Blues music. The word Penta is Greek for ve
and there are ve different name notes in each Minor Pentatonic Scale. The way I like to look at this scale is that you
isolate a group of notes from the Natural Minor Scale (the full minor scale) by taking the 1st,, 3rd, , 4th , 5th , and 7th notes
of the Natural Minor Scale the Minor Pentatonic scale is born. When you play this group of notes you get that unique
Rock and or Blues feel that makes these scales so popular.
The ve Minor Pentatonic Scale positions that we go through in this program are just different places of playing the
same ve notes on the neck. Unlike other instruments with guitar you can play the same exact note in more than one
place on the neck. The A Minor Pentatonic Scale is comprised of these notes A, C, D, E, G and the full Natural
Minor scales notes are as follows A, B, C, D, E, F, G often times players will use a combination of both of these scales
while soloing. Make sure you memorize all ve positions in all keys so that you can use them to improvise creatively.
Think of these scales as building blocks; sort of like Legos, the second half of the rst scale is the rst half of thesecond scale. The chart on the next page shows you how to change these scales to different keys.
