Actually C Major and A Minor are Parallel so the A Minor pentatonic should be played starting on the 8th fret where the C Major is.

This was the most efficient and quick way to learn the minor & connected Major scales.

All lessons should be this direct and helpful!

Thank you,
Dm

The only things that differ between these two scales is the three fret difference and u CAN NOT use the same licks as you would use over a minor pentatonic scale. Major and Minor are different for a reason. It wouldn't sound good to most if u used the same licks as u would for the minor pentatonic over the major pentatonic, and vice a versa.

But the idea can be close right? You have to get the feel of how to resolve those ideas in the minor or major key. Maybe this is another study that needs to be documented in a book? You take a major riff and change it just a little bit to make it sound good as a minor riff. Thanks for the comment.
