Minor Pentatonic Scale - Position 5
Minor Pentatonic Scale - Position 5

The fifth position of the minor pentatonic scale.

James Porter

This is the last hand position for the minor pentatonic scale. It is two frets higher than the fourth position, or three frets lower than the first position. On the left side is the jagged line of notes from the right side of fourth position, and on the right side is the vertical line from the left side of first position.

The root of the scale is under your first finger on the first string, or under your fourth finger on the fourth string.
