im working my way through a book on pentatonic scales and im keep getting confused. i get the part about how a pattern might move up and down the neck for the root note starting on the low E. that part i understand. where im getting stuck the most i think is in the other patterns here is pattern 1 and 2 in a minor pentatonic:
||-----------------------5-8-------------------------|
||-------------------5-8-----------------------------|
||---------------5-7---------------------------------|
||----------5-7--------------------------------------|
||------5-7------------------------------------------|
||--5-8----------------------------------------------|

||--------------------------8-10---------------------|
||---------------------8-10--------------------------|
||-----------------7-9-------------------------------|
||------------7-10-----------------------------------|
||-------7-10----------------------------------------|
||--8-10---------------------------------------------|

how and when do i use them? are they just continuations of the first pattern because in the book i have it has 5 different patterns.

please help me.
