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?
