E Minor Pentatonic Scale All 5 Positions w/ interactive TAB
In this lesson we look at the 5 shapes of the minor pentatonic scale. We'll use the E minor pentatonic as our example, but the same 5 shapes apply to every minor pentatonic scale (the major pentatonic uses the same shapes too, but in a different way and will be covered in a separate lesson)
Learning all 5 pentatonic shapes is an essential component of advanced guitar playing. The main lesson video shows an overview of all 5 shapes, plus gives some context.
E minor pentatonic scale - all 5 shapes
Each colour indicates a different shape. Notice the repetition of the same shape with the same notes but an octave higher on the neck!
Blue = position 1. Light blue = position 2. Green = position 3. Orange = position 4. Red = position 5
Find interactive tab synced to video for each shape further down this page, which should become part of your practice routine to memorise and learn the shapes!
