it opened doors for me when I tried it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202179 RE: Don't understand freebird solo https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202127 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 02:50:49 +0000
You probably already know this, but to go from the Minor Pentatonic to the Major Pentatonic scale, you simply shift down 3 frets.
G Minor Pentatonic Scale 1st position e--------------------------------3—-6- b--------------------------3--6------- g--------------------3--5------------- d--------------3--5------------------- a--------3--5------------------------- e--3--6------------------------------- G Major Pentatonic Scale 1st postion e--------------------------------0—-3- b--------------------------0--3------- g--------------------0--2------------- d--------------0--2------------------- a--------0--2------------------------- e--0--3------------------------------- E Minor Pentatonic Scale 1st position e--------------------------------0—-3- b--------------------------0--3------- g--------------------0--2------------- d--------------0--2------------------- a--------0--2------------------------- e--0--3------------------------------- The G Major Pentatonic Scale and the E Minor Pentatonic Scale share the same exact notes:

G Major Pentatonic- G, A, B, D, E

E Minor Pentatonic- E, G, A, B, D

The only difference is the root note you start on.

This applies to all postions of the Minor Pentatonic (5 positions). Shift each position down 3 frets and you will be playing that same position in the Major Pentatonic Scale.

And of course, all scale positions repeat 12 frets higher up the neck.

Hope that didn't confuse you.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202127 RE: Don't understand freebird solo https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202125 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 02:36:38 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion MattyPretends116 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202125 RE: Don't understand freebird solo https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202124 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 02:22:18 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-202124 Don't understand freebird solo https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-20925 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 01:22:22 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion michhill8 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/dont-understand-freebird-solo/#post-20925
