Hey guys! Ive been playing the pentatonic scale for quite a bit on random starting frets but... recently I noticed a paper that red.

Recommended scale:
G major pentatonic scale
G minor pentatonic scale
B Major pentatonic scale

Well I was wondering... how do I find out where I actually start the scale now?

I heard that the first string you pluck of the scale determines the scale but I dont know how to read the string... can someone please help?

this site is great, it shows u where each scale starts, the key, chords, stuff like that

how it works...

in the "pattern" box u chose what fret u want to deal with.

u then select what chord u want.

then the scale u want to work with.

click "get" and it tells u all the correct notes u can use in that key.

choose anything except FULL, in the pattern box and it will also include tabs at the bottom.
