We’ll now take a look at whats thought of as the first pentatonic box and discuss some patterns and exercises to practice. You can do these in any key you want. I’m going to show them in B minor.

It’s also important to note that when shifting position in any scale -but pent. in particular- when you play the last note in the position you’re in-usually you’ll be on your pinky or ring finger on your fretting hand. Always shift from pinky or ring up into the next position starting with your index finger(instead of jus sliding your whole hand up.
