Linkage Part V

Lastly we have come full circle and it’s time to link Position 1 to Position 5. The only thing that really needs to be said here is that Position 1 starts 3 frets above position 5. So when you play the minor pentatonic scale, the note on the low E string that your pinky plays is the start of Position 1.

BTW, have you noticed a pattern yet involving the frets in between each pattern? For each of the patterns where we can use a minor pentatonic scale, that pattern is always two frets above the previous pattern (patterns 2, 3 and 5, are all two frets above the previous patterns)... Likewise the major patters are 3 frets above the previous pattern (patterns 1 and 4 are three frets above the previous patterns).
