The Minor Pentatonic is commonly the first scale people learn, and with good reason, it's easy and super useful, especially for The Blues!

This might be a really daft question……playing this on the 5th fret is the ‘A minor pentatonic scale’ isn’t it? So if I play the exact scale on the 3rd fret is this the ‘G minor pentatonic scale’?
Hi Craig ,
You are right 
…That’s nice, isn’t it, you can now apply this in 12 places/notes

Is there a particular reason why Justin decided to go to the minor pentatonic scale after having taught position 3 of the major scale? Feels like the major scale didn’t get finished. We come back to the major scale position 4 in the next grade. Thanks.
Man… starting on that root note and keeping it in mind… absolutely brilliant! I’ve toyed about with learning these patterns for years, always give up maybe three patterns in, not feeling any connection- just this simple thing brings it all together. Thanks Justin!
Rob Swift calls this scale Box 4 ???
