Pentatonic Minor Scale Video/Tab

Pentatonic Minor Scale: One of the most popular, easy and much loved scales of guitar players, is the common gardener variety - Minor Pentatonic Scale. Its a 5 note scale (Greek: penta = 5), and heard in many styles of music particularly Blues, and it's a good starting point for a bit of easy but effective soloing. It's played with 3 or 4 fingers - many Blues Masters just use or used 3. It's very easy to learn and use - the trick is to make it interesting.

The Pentatonic Minor Pentatonic Scale

Use 3 or 4 fingers to play it - eg play the first/root note A (on Low E-String) with index finger #1, and the extra note C on the 8th fret with either the third or 4th finger.

Play the next notes in the scale (D and E on A string) with the first and 3rd fingers and so on.

Many advanced Blues players like say Eric Clapton use mostly just the 3 fingers and it's a good place to start.

Feel free to experiment with this as you gain proficiency with using the scale.

This video is aimed at beginner players
Right hand and left hand techniques are clearly shown - includes building a right hand picking anchor.
The video itself is well presented in a friendly manner with a nice demo classic lick thrown in for good measure.
Note: this scale as shown on the 5th fret position should theoretically end on the A note 5th fret not the C note 8th fret - but the C note is included in the scale so no harm done there.
