Extended Minor Pentatonic Guitar Scale
Once you have become comfortable improvising with the basic minor
pentatonic scale on the guitar, it is time to extend the range of your note
possibilities.
These scale forms are written horizontally. The 6th string of
the guitar is on the bottom and the 1st string on the top. This
is in the same form as guitar
tablature. Scale charts are often written vertically like
chord charts. Get used to reading them both ways.
Often when this scale is used in improvisation, you can use your
3rd finger instead of your 4th on 1st, 2nd, and 6th strings.
