Dear Justin Guitar;
This is regarding the lesson titled “MINOR PENTATONIC: THE 5 PATTERNS”
on Minor Pentatonic: The 5 Patterns | JustinGuitar.com
Under the sub-heading
“THE SCALE SHAPES
Pattern 1 (CAGED Shape E)”
Pattern 1 looks more like CAGED Shape G.
Also, for the following:
“Pattern 2 (CAGED Shape D)”
Pattern 2 looks more like CAGED Shape E.
“Pattern 3 (CAGED Shape C)”
Pattern 3 looks more like CAGED Shape D.
“Pattern 4 (CAGED Shape A)”
Pattern 4 looks more like CAGED Shape C.
“Pattern 5 (CAGED Shape G)”
Pattern 5 looks more like CAGED Shape A.
I do understand that the relationship between major/minor patterns is 3 half-steps apart.
Whereas the shape names are all fixed and referenced to the 5 basic open chord patterns and not to their actual tonality or
pitch.
As in C-shaped chord doesn’t mean a C chord. Shape names are fixed, pitch/chord names change.
I am very sorry to trouble you.
I am quite confused and so I felt that I should give feedback and check with you.
I hope you can spare a moment.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Paul
