A minor pentatonic scale starting on the G note
[ Up ]
[ Am pentatonic C note ]
[ Am at D ]
[ Am at E ]
[ Am at G ]
[ Am root 17 ]
[ Am open ]
[ Am at the G ]
Once again every
12 frets the notes repeat. The illustration below shows the notes of the Am pentatonic scale starting at the 3rd
fret, G note. This position has the same fingering pattern and notes as that of the 15th fret position.
The fingering is as follows 1-3, 1-3, 1-4, 1-4, 1-3, 1-3


The image above to the left illustrates the fingering that you use for this
pattern. You start on the 3rd fret, 1 finger, Low
E
string. Then you move to the 5th fret 3 finger, Low E string. So far all of the positions have been
explained in detail. You should be able to figure out how to work
through this position. Remember, it is the same fingering as the
15th fret. All notes and scales repeat after 12 frets.
The tablature has been included below.

In
the next lesson I would like to put the G position, root note fret position,
the C position, the D position and E position together. I will also be
introducing the slide which will add to your tablature vocabulary.
A
minor pentatonic grouping.
Good Luck,
