Hey folks,

here I wrote an article about the minor and the major pentatonic with some short explainations and displaying the 5 positions of them. The good news is that if you already know the minor pentatonic you can play the major one as well. You just need to adapt the root note. The patterns are staying the same - check it out here in this article which I wrote.

If you have any questions or comments - post them here and discuss this with other students or I help you out.

Thank you so much for this handout.

For me, having them marked out on the fretboard with fingerings (as opposed to numbers on tablature) is easier to quickly remember the spacings and shapes.  Great excuse to perfect my memorising of the minor pentatonics and try to make a start with remembering the major pentatonics.

Hey Sara,

I am glad I could help. I also work more with the picture of the notes on the fretboard and through visulization of it during playing. ?
