Pentatonic Scale Patterns

If you're interested in the theory behind the scale visit the Scale Theory - Pentatonic Scales page.

Here is a sheet music page that you can print out and use for practice. On it is some variances of a root position pentatonic scale in the key of Am. The true notation and tab has been supplied on the sheet. You can transpose this scale simply by moving it up and down the neck of the guitar starting on different notes. If you keep the same pattern you will be playing the minor pattern of the first note in each section.
