--------------------------------------------5--8----
------------------------------------5--8------------
------------------------------5--7------------------
-------------------5--7-----------------------------
---------5--7--------------------------------------
-5-8----------------------------------------------

Now listen to the Am pentatonic root note 5th fret.

1 =  Index finger
2 =  Middle finger
3 =  Ring finger
4 =  Pinkie
T =  Thumb

The numbers above represent your fingers that play this scale. The numbers in the right box are the numbers for each finger you would use to play each note. You must now learn the fingering number system used for our studies. It is very important that you memorize each number representing each finger. This fingering system above to the right will be used to learn how to play scales, use tablature, do exercises and play lead guitar. 

Below is what the tablature would look like to play the A minor pentatonic scale at the root note fret.
