Can someone tell me if I’m confused about something. Brian says he slides from pattern one up to pattern two of the A major pentatonic scale in the explanation of the first lick. To me it seems like he is sliding from pattern 5 to pattern 1 of the a major pentatonic scale. What’s the ups? Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks. This is my first post. Hello everyone.

ML is not in the key of A, but in E. Didn’t hear a reference to the A major pentatonic scale in the video. But there was a thread along these lines a couple of months back. I think a lot of people, and I know Brian is one of them, use Pattern One based on shape regardless of whether you are playing in major or minor. So A major pentatonic pattern one is from high to low 2-5,2-5,2-4,2-4,2-4, 2-5. If you slide that up to to the fifth fret it is pattern one of the A minor pentatonic. But as it turns out from that other thread, I think some people give different names to the same pattern, depending on whether it is minor or major. Hope that helps

I learned that yesterday but didn’t watch the video. Pattern one of the A minor pentatonic scale is at the fifth fret. If you slide that same pattern 3 frets toward the headstock, it is pattern one of the A major scale. When he slides from the fourth fret to the sixth fret, he is sliding from pattern one of the A major scale to pattern two of the A major scale. Some have different number patterns for the scales but Brian’s way makes more sense to me.
And welcome to the site.
