Playing the Em Pent. scale, fingurings are: 12-15, 12-14, 12-14, 12-14, 12-15, 12-15. Brian say if you move down (back) three frets you are now playing E major pent. scale. Same fingurings. I thought this was relative scale. I’m having trouble getting my head around playing minor, moving down three frets and now it is same scale except now it is major. Uuurhhh.

Hey Harley, it’s crazy but it works… by shifting that basic pattern (scale) down 3 frets you basically fall into the major pentatonic scale. Technically there are 2 additional notes you can add to make it the TRUE pentatonic, but the purpose of explaining that is to demonstrate how by memorizing one pattern, you’ve really got 2 scales. It makes it easy to switch back and forth between the 2.
