- Alright, we've been discussing minor pentatonic scales,…and with a minor pentatonic scale, there are five notes.…So there are five different locations of the neck…that you can play them on,…one position built off of each note.…So, let's learn all five shapes.…This way, you can link together the entire fret board.…And, let's just check out the first shape.…Through all these, I'm going to stop,…and just pause for a moment, on the A note,…just so you can really know where each A is, in every shape.…
So this is shape number one.…(guitar plays)…Let's check out shape number two.…(guitar plays)…Here's shape number three.…(guitar plays)…Shape number four.…(guitar plays)…Shape number five, you can either play way up here,…or you can just take it down to the third fret.…
