Minor Pentatonic Scale – Guitar
The first scale most guitarists learn for soloing: five notes, five boxes, and the sound of almost every rock and blues solo.
Formula: 1 – b3 – 4 – 5 – b7. The shapes are movable: learn them in one key and slide them to any other. Here it is in A, the most common key to learn it in.
