Minor pentatonic and blues scale ~ everywhere! Part Five

In this tutorial we take what we've covered within the previous four parts and establish the minor pentatonic across the entire neck of a guitar.

We were almost there in part four, so we're only adding a few notes here.

As with all the tutorials in this series I provide you with example licks and this time my focus is upon licks that enable you to link the sections we've covered so far.

Grab your guitar, tune up, and select play on the following video.



Within the video I show you the last few notes to complete our diagram of the minor pentatonic scale across 12 frets of a guitar neck. The following diagram replicates this, whilst also including the blues note / flattened fifth.

This is therefore the blues scale, in E, across the guitar neck:

As in part four, I encourage you to recreate this yourself to aid you in committing it to memory. Click here for blank guitar necks that you can print out for this purpose.

Below is the tab for the licks I covered within the video.
