Hello friends,

And welcome to another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session we will use our CAGED system to discover how each of our five pentatonic scale boxes can be used in both major and minor soloing. The basic concept is that a given major or minor chord can be played in five positions on the fretboard - C,A,G,E,D - surrounding each of these chord positions is both a major and minor pentatonic box. Each box can be played in two locations the fretboard, one major and the other minor. Let's get started!

Note: This lesson is still under review and not yet available on YouTube. Let me know if you catch any errors in the video or PDF study guide, thank you all so much for your guidance and support. -Rob

Hi Rob, which cord shapes do you use for the Minor C & G position?

Hi Rob. Thank you for the resources and lessons.

Hey Sven, there aren't really comfortable minor shapes in those positions. If you follow that suggested lesson, I do show how the minor triads are positioned there, but I think we'd need six fingers to really make use of them as rhythm players.

Rob. i'm struggling a bit with the naming . for example, the "A minor position". i get the pentatonic scale but what makes that given shape/fret position the "A minor position"?

Rob. another thing i'm trying to get my head around: it appears each "box" or shape can be both minor and major. e.g the minor G position is the same shape as the major A position. how can one shape be both major and minor?

Newbie here. So, once I master all five "boxes," I can play ALL of them to a backing track in the key of A, or only the minor ones in A minor and major ones in A major???

Hi, the box numbering doesn´t seem to match "the usual" numbering used for the boxes. I think it is better to leave it without the numbering. Just a suggestion, Cheers
