A pentatonic minor scale - 1313131 sweeps : General
In BLOGoZON No.697 the standard box shapes for the A pentatonic minor scale
were presented using the AGEDB octaves methodology for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the A pentatonic minor scale, again, but with 1313131 sweep patterns
and join them all together to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.

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.
