Thanks for all your help. I can understand the diagram now and I think I can do the minor pentatonic scale.
I've been using notes on the internet instead of the magazine I have because the magazine uses hammer ons and confusing things like that - the internet lesson doesn't.
I have another question - The skin has came off the top of my index finger, and i'm a little concerned.
I have been (at some points) moving it up and down the fretboard rather quickly while pushing down pretty hard on the strings (stupidly thinking it would speed up the process of hardening my fingertips).
Now the skin has come off, it's more tender to the touch and I don't know whether I should stop playing until it grows back. Not sure whether this is a common thing to happen (though I don't understand why your skin would fall off when it's supposed to be going hard) or whether I have made it happen by moving my finger along the strings too fast?
