Pentatonic Scales

SORRY, THIS PAGE IS STILL
UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

These scales are commonly known as BLUES SCALES but they are really PENTATONIC SCALES, ( PENTA- as in pentagon, five sided shape. PENTATONIC as in a five note scale. )

Each blues scale is only made up of two notes on each string. To make things easier we will call the first group of notes the beginning notes, and the second group of notes the end notes. As you can see from the pictures to the right, the end notes of the 1st scale are the same as the beginning notes of the second scale. This happens with every scale, so each scale fits together like a jigsaw puzzle.
