A minor pentatonic scale — position 1 New
Position 1 of the A minor pentatonic scale, widely used in rock, played around the 5th fret using the same fingering shape as the E minor version (shifted up 5 frets).
Tips
Once position 1 feels comfortable, try adding a few string bends on the second string for a more expressive sound.
