Ok when your doing your scale practices and you come to your pentatonics. Start of with you E minor pentatonic from E.


g:-----------7-9-9-7----------
d:-------7-9---------9-7------
a:--7-10-----------------10-7-


Then start with G in the same position and the same scale. I will note that G major pentatonic contains the same notes and the E minor, but when you start from the G position (2nd pos.) think of it still as the E minor pentatonic. That was just for your info, don't get obsessed. Ok, here's the G position of the E minor pent.


g:---------7-9-12-12-9-7--------
d:-----7-9---------------9-7----
a:--10-----------------------10-


Continue on until you've done all 5 position and your done. Think of the whole thing as learning a single pentatonic scale, and remember to think of each position as you play them still being the root key note, E in this case. This doesn't apply to any other scale except your pents, and blues.

Here's a previous post where I explain some different ways to practice scales in case you get bored with the same routine or picking up and down, blah blah.

Another thing is good is to apply what your learning with your scale practice. Like the legato thing, if you starting to learn a solo with alot of legato and you really want to bust at it. Apply it with your scale practice.

Thanx, andy. That is a good site to start with, if your interested in theory and probably the best I've seen that applies to guitar.
