U should make more videos, i like your teaching style.

I watched another video and he played it like this but somebody said that theres only 5 notes in pentatonic scales are they wrong or whats d story?

[GuitarHangout]

I wondered this too when I was first starting out. Here is how it works...

A pentatonic scale does only have 5 notes...

You play those 5 and then start again.

So In the video I play:

A, C, D, E, G and then the next note is 7th fret D string which is an A again. Next note is C again and then D again and then we run out of strings. :-)

I hope that helps?

[NiallMossie14]

Ah yeh i get you , thanks ;)

[panamanian911]

it only has 5 notes.. wether u play it on different octaves is your choice

[crapintaholeintawall]

[GuitarHangout]

I'm playing the Minor Pentatonic Scale again when I get to the octave.
