The next position we will cover is the A minor pentatonic scale starting at the 15th Fret. 

The illustration below shows this fingering pattern. 1-3 1-3 1-4 1-4 1-3 1-3. The notes that make up this fingering pattern are. G-A C-D E-G A-C D-E G-A.

The illustration below shows the notes that make up the A minor pentatonic scale at the 15th fret. Notice that you start with the Low E string G note 15th fret and work your way down through the scale to the G note high E string 15th fret. Play this fingering pattern a couple hundred times or until you can play it none stop without looking. 

Listen G to G

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.

Good Luck,
