Intermediate: Pentatonic Scale Exansion 1


1. First, I should say that I have small hands.
2. These hands have been injured many times trying to be the best guitarist.
3. This use of the penatonic scale is useful for everyone, especially those with small hands.
Usually on day 1 when studying a pentatonic scale this shape is given.

This is the Eminor pentatonic scale.
I still agree that it should be shown first to help students learn the pattern.
It is not my favorite way of using this scale, as it is hard to bend notes with one's pinky.
Bending notes is essential because played by itself, it seems to need spice.
The first position of the Aminor pentatonic is quite a bit more difficult to play.
This is because the frets are even further apart.

The notes in red are for another time. Know that they are there though.
Though sometimes there are 3 notes per string, I recommend use slides instead of three fingers.
Play everything with your ring and index fingers, except use your middle or ring at the blue B.
Slide up to the highest or lowest pitched B note with your ring finger.
It is also a good idea to slide from the lowest pitched D note to the E, which suggests the root is E.
The same for the same pattern, but Aminor pentatonic
This version of the Aminor pentatonic scale is easier.
