Is there a lesson specifically showing all the Blues pentatonic scale patterns.
I’m a little confused; Is pattern 2 the extension of pattern 1 starting on the ‘A’ note 5th fret?
If there is no specific lesson explaining all the patterns could Brian do one please.
Some teachers say that starting on the 3rd fret for the A scale is pattern 2.
Others say pattern 2 starts on the 8th fret.David, new member

scale pos. 1-5 are how to go up and down the strings in 4 fret intervals. Try this; Learn the (start with the penatonic) do one string at a time. when you master each string going up and down will be easy.Try this

@David C, you will mostly see pentatonic boxes referred to as one position on the fretboard where the scale can be played over the span of 4 frets, ie. without having to shift position. The high end of one box will be the beginning side of the next box, ie. they fit together. There are commonly used extensions, where a small part of the preceeding box and/or the following box can be added to make an extended scale.This allows the scale to be played so that there are no more than two frets separating each interval of the scale. This can allow for faster playing, hammer-ons and slides and easy movement from one box to another.
Brian does have a Beginner’s blues course on the site. Brian’s Box 1 borrows two notes from the preceeding Box 5 and extends what is normally referred to as Box 1.
