how to combine the pentatonics

Is there a tutorial or a good diagram for combining the pentatonic scales up the fingerboard staying in the same key? Thanks, Chris

Hi Nanselmus,

Thanks for the question! I would recommend checking out our pentatonic patterns series with Chris Schlegel here:

Thanks to the GT Admin for pointing to my tutorial. :)

This tutorial will show you all the pentatonic patterns (or "boxes") to cover the fretboard & stay in one key.

These exercises will show you how to practice those patterns.

And these tutorials will give you more ways to combine the patterns to use them as cool licks & riffs in music.

Hope this helps. Have fun with pentatonics!

Way cool! I'm about three weeks away from starting the same thing and already had the same questions. Thanks guys!

Thanks. That is exactly what I'm looking for. I bookmarked it, but where is that located in your site? I'm still pretty new to GT and am loving it! But I get lost sometimes. The wealth of info is phenomenal and I recommend you guys every chance I get. Thanks again, Chris.

Thank you.
