Minor Pentatonic Scale on Bass

Minor Pentatonic Scale - Position 4
Minor Pentatonic Scale - Position 4

The fourth position of the minor pentatonic scale.

James Porter

To move to the fourth position, slide up three frets from third position. The vertical line of notes that was under your fourth finger should now be under your first finger. On the right side the notes make a jagged line, with two under your third finger and two under your fourth finger.

The root of the scale can be played either with your first finger on the third string, or your third finger on the first string.
