Minor Pentatonic scale In The Key Of A (for you guitar players out there)

I have posted these positions of the A minor pentatonic scale for guitarist that do not know where all the positions on the fret board this scale can be played. This is very helpful in finding new melodies because of the difference in the fingering it makes it easier to find new note patterns. If you do not know how to read tab the top line is your high E and the bottom line is your low E. So from bottom to top its low E-A-D-G-B-E. The numbers represent the fret to be played on the corresponding string. Have fun and enjoy hope this will help in the road to soloing.
