About the Minor Pentatonic

The minor pentatonic (R 3 5 7 10 — root, ♭3, 4, 5, ♭7) is the backbone of blues and rock soloing. The G minor pentatonic 'box' shapes are usually the first scales a guitarist learns for improvising.

Practice tips

Anchor every shape to its root — the gold R markers — and learn the distance to the other tones. The same shape transposes to any root by sliding it along the neck.

Open the interactive trainer and tap every G Minor Pentatonic tone across all six strings until the shape is automatic.
