Hello friends, 

And welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today’s session I’ll be showing you how to solo in the G position of the minor pentatonic scale. We’ll begin by reviewing this useful scale pattern and it’s intervals before tackling a tasteful double stop lick and how it can be applied to each chord in a blues progression. Let’s get started!

As always Rob, a very nice lesson. I'm confused by one thing however- maybe its "just semantics" or something. Right out of the gate you say we are going to do this in the key of A, and my mind says to myself "A Major". Then, when you show the G chord shape moved down to A- I can picture that- but I picture the classic pentatonic pattern (1-4, 1-3, 1-3, 1-3, 1-4, 1-4) rooted by my pinky on A note (6th string 5th fret). Therein forms the bottom of the pattern, and in fact on string 5 i picture that C# note (6th string 4th fret). But then we fall back to C- which I get, because of the flat 3rd thing. My confusion is why? I thought we were going to play in A Major, not A Minor (?). Or am I confusing this whole Minor/Major thing LOL? And to that end, why emphasize that G chord shape, and then not play a note it includes? (Maybe I just don't understand the CAGED thing)

oops for the C# note I meant FIFTH string, 4th fret

What is confusing is that this pentatonic scale is both the A major position and the G minor position. Because the lick starts with an A - then its the minor sound (tonal center) = key of Am. Don't confuse the position - really just a scale configuration, with the key center. I call these position my own names like "outside box" rather than get confused with the CAGED naming convention. One has a little house (E Major / D minor) I call the little house.
