Ok I know all 5 pentatonic scale positions or "boxes" right? I know how to play them in Minor and major (basically the root dictates the key right? otherwise everything else stays the same)
now..... how can I use all these boxes together up and down the fretboard? for example if I'm playing a song in Am
I'll start with this box...
-------5--------8-----
-------5--------8-----
-------5------7-------
-------5------7-------
-------5------7-------
-------R--------8-----
and I want to move to this box:
-------8----------10-----
-------8-----------R-----
-----7-------9-----------
-----R------------10-----
-----7------------10-----
-------8----------10------
I'll STILL be in Am pentatonic as long as I keep the focus around the Root (R) correct?
IF I was for example playing a song in the key of A (Major) how should I be choosing my notes on that box? (which one would be my root?, Bb ?
