If you dig face melting shredding solos as performed by Zakk Wylde, anGus young or even Evh you need to learn these. With so many notes and octives that can be produced from these patterns I don't see how anyone can call them boring. All I see in people homage those.comments is inexperience. I mean even country artists like brad paisley and Keith urban use them constantly. Does mean u have to use the entire scale. No. With time you will learn how to mix it up and move them up and down the fretboard. Great article. This was a great article.

No need to be so snippy. Remember what it was like when u were learning. I'm sure you asked questions that may have seemed obvious and silly to more experienced guitarists....It was damn confusing, wasn't it!!!

It should be Minor Pentatonic Root notes below and Major Pentatonic Root notes above. I think you have the root note labels reversed.

Sounds like you're getting it. :) The relative minor thing doesn't always have to be applied but sure glad you see the importance of knowing it. Thanks very much for the kind words. Lee Hey JacksonGirl. Sounds like you’re getting it. :)

If you're talking pentatonic scales as in specific keys (as in A, C, D, F#, etc.), those pentatonic patterns (from the lecture) are moveable all over the fretboard--as the "major/minor scale differences" lecture communicated ( see here: http://www.fretmeup.com/major-vs-minor-scale/ ), it all depends on the root note you're emphasizing for the tonal centre in order for the scale to sound in one "key" as opposed to another, such as A minor vs. C major, if playing the 1st listed minor pentatonic pattern around the 5th fret. Move that pattern elsewhere, and it'll be something different--such as if you slid that pattern up to the 7th fret, you'd be doing the B minor vs. the D major--it depends on what root and it's corresponding notes you want to emphasize in order to give it a tonal centre of sounding in B minor or C major . The "just pentatonic scales" you mention are in this "lecture"---go to the section above in the article entitled "The five common pentatonic shapes". Any of these shapes/patterns can be combined with sliding scales leading into other pentatonic shapes, chord patterns, etc. These articles ("lectures") by Lee have been the best I've found on pentatonics, and scales in general. I've used several books, videos, and other internet sources to try to get this entire "scale thing" down better in my head---and these articles/lessons of Lee's are what finally made the lightbulb come on for me.
