The image that follows shows what Guitar Pro 6 describes as the Minor Pentatonic (5th mode of major pentatonic) - more commonly known as the G pentatonic minor scale. As usual this is totally indigestible by most guitar players (plus the Bb is misspelt as A#) and needs to be broken down into more manageable chunks.
The diagram that follows shows all of the G pentatonic minor scale notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's fretboard in the GEDCA octaves style:-
With digestability and future utilisation in mind, i.e. playing and remembering the dam thing, the
GEDCA octaves method for the G pentatonic minor scale box shapes on 6-string guitar now follows:-
The 6-string guitar GEDCA octaves sequence is shown for G natural in the diagram that follows:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the G pentatonic minor scale are detailed below for the 6-string guitar in the GEDCA octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the G pentatonic minor scale for the
6-string guitar in the GEDCA octaves style.
