A pentatonic minor scale : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A pentatonic minor scale and join them all together
for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE) to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.
Below the AGEDB octaves for Drop E sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-

As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales 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
A pentatonic minor scale are detailed below in the AGEDB octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
A pentatonic minor scale in the AGEDB octaves style.
