uhh....i would help ya if I could make out what you're trying to say. :confused:

Are you stating fact, or asking us opinion or a question? I think you're just trying to say the E minor pentatonic will harmonize with certain chord progessions, so I shouldn't really reply.

Actually it won't really harmonize all that well with a few of those, seeing as how it is MINOR pentatonic it cant harmonize equally as well with E minor and E major. You'd have to switch it to the major pentatonic.

I don't like cheese - it makes me sick... :(

Anyway....

The attachment is a little hard to read Grambo mate, but (for anyone who is confused by it) all the red notes are those in an Em Pentatonic scale, and the attachment shows the CAGED patterns running up the neck, starting with the 'G' shape in open position. The shapes lock together, and that's what you're seeing.

You can also see the repeating pattern of notes wrapping across the strings - which is something Fret2Fret would take $18 or whatever it is now for... :D

Mr Blues_Man has a point on the harmonising Vs flat thirds, but it depends what kind of a harmony you're after...

Yes it is Strange I don't fully understand why the minor pentatonic harmonises with majors and minors, but i've tried it many times - i've also discussed it on this site

It could be that over the years I've developed licks and runs that work in certain orders ?
