Earlier I mentioned to you that after 12 frets everything repeats. Well we have finally reached that point. The next position for the A minor pentatonic scale is the 17th fret. That is the same fingering as the root note fret. If you remember the A minor pentatonic scale root note fret was on the 5th fret. We should go take a look at this position. We will also call this the root note fret, but it's 12 frets higher. A minor pentatonic at the 17th fret A note.
