Here’s the second video of the “Master the Pentatonic Major” series, where I show you another example in a different key (D) on how to find the two main fingerboard areas of that scale.
If you move any position of the Blues Scale a minor 3rd (3 frets) back, you’ll find the Pentatonic Major in the same key.
Follow these steps:
1. Find the ROOT on the 6th and 5th strings.
2. Move the 1st BOX of the Blues Scale (with the root on the 6th string) three frets back.
3. Move the 4th BOX of the Blues Scale (with the root on the 5th string) three frets back.
These are the two main fretboard areas for phrasing and soloing.
