Minor Pentatonic Scale

Here are some interesting schemas I just did, it's the minor pentatonic scale in the key of A

So here are all the notes :

If you want to play in the key of B for example, just switch everything 2 fret to the right.. it's that simple.

To make it easier to remember, I suggest you learn each of those shape and then try to connect them in a horizontal way or else you might feel that you are stuck in those patterns.

This scale is very common in popular music so it's a very good one for someone who wants to learn songs by ear. A lot of solo are made using that scale, Stairway to Heaven from Led Zeppelin,  One from Metallica.. Hendrix was using it a lot.

Btw, in this scale, just add a flat 5 (b5) , in this case it's a D# and you have the minor blues scale.
