**************************************
By far, the most used and convenient scale to know on the guitar is the Minor Pentatonic scale.
It can allow you to sound great soloing in many different styles including blues, rock, metal, funk, & jazz.
However, many guitarists get stuck using the same box shape (Pattern #1), unable to fully explore the rest of the fretboard when soloing. The few that do break away end up having to memorize a bunch of different patterns to make it work...
In this video guitar lesson, learn about the Master Pattern - the ONE pattern for the Minor Pentatonic scale that will allow you to not only play in any position but in any key, too!
If you have any questions or comments about this lesson, please post them in the comments and I will do my best to help you out.
Cheers!

I'd say you could teach a computer the pentatonic scale really well. You nailed down a master pattern and an algorithm to alter it. Beautiful.
Simpler to memorize the 5 positions.
This was it for me. Seeing it visualized this way made it all click for me. All of the things people say in other videos that was confusing me make sense after this. Everything makes sense now. I learned modes and arpeggios off of the foundation laid out here. Watched this 2 years ago. This was my breakthrough. Thank you!!!
I disagree with a lot of the comments. as a beginner, I had to watch the video 3 times, take notes and put the scales on paper and then it was really easy to understand. definitely one of the best Pentatonic videos on CZcams.
Chris H, I'm glad you gave the approach a fair try and found it be useful for getting comfortable with the Minor Pentatonic scale. I also appreciate you sharing your experience on here in the comments section to let others know about it; there are certainly many on here who don't feel the approach is useful, but it seems like many are judging the concept before giving it a chance. Anyway, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
I realised i would need to get the pen and paper out and maybe the scissors, now i just have to get organised enough to do it, I feel it would definitely help if I can.
Chris, we know your point of view, but we have folks that never saw a guitar til my 21st birthday. lol i just bought my guitar at the pawnshop, i was attracted to the cashier,so i bought something that ,oh,ok tht guitar ,have a signature of a sexy female rockstar.so i bought it to impress some chics. but i dont know how to play this,, i am a software engineer for the military ,i never touched a guitar b4.
lol
Thank you so very much for providing everyone the simplest way to remember the pentatonic minor scale in any key on a guitar. It can’t get any easier than this and with just a few hours of practicing with just locating the root note and there is your scale. It’s been 20 years of not playing guitar and this is just what I needed. I remember the hard work years ago learning each scale in every key back in the day with books etc. and it was not fun as it should be. I really appreciate you sharing this so that more people can enjoy playing music instead of dreading it.
Nick, You're welcome and thanks for checking out the video. I'm glad that it could help you get back into the fun of learning to play your guitar. Cheers!
This really put it into perspective for me, i couldn't quite grasp the five shapes until i thought of it in this way. this really opened my eyes musically. thank you for this
GREAT explanation of how and why the 5 minor Penatonic scales move up the fretboard the way they do!!!! The MASTER PATTERN when applied correctly explains and visualizes why the scales change as they work upwards towards the bridge of your guitar!!! THANKS!!!🎸🎼🎸😁
How I learned: I gave up on watching videos that I didn't understand and started learning it my way, I memorized every pattern and where they go.
They repeat themselves, it's easier than you think.
Yeah. These videos really only make sense to players that have put the work in to memorize the patterns. This makes plenty of sense to me, but i've been playing minor pentatonic for 20 years. :D
Interesting, however this is more complicated than just learning the 5 patterns. But cool video anyway
Right ... I get suckered into these instruction videos claiming to make something simple ... then get pissed off when I find it is bullshit
yes; 100%, better learn the positions...
I'm glad I didn't find this method first when I was trying to learn it. Overly complicated for me.
Have to agree with you guys. Shift the notes, split the pattern WTF? I was lost in seconds.
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! I slow the speed on playback to .75 or .5 and learn at my own pace. Keep going at it bro and, good luck!
So basically just learn the five patterns.
jeff snider just learn six of the seven modes. Then you’ll be good.
This is really great for more understanding. See how important it is to know the roots!
Thank you for this perspective. This is what I needed to understand how the scales moves. I already new all the positions of the scale but this just reinforces how they can be broken down. Awesome. Bless you.
Jaime, I'm so glad that this helped you to take that next step in understanding the Minor Pentatonic scale and your fretboard. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
You are good, G. Floyd !
It took about half an hour to fathom out your Master Plan, within your Master Pattern.
I learnt how to adapt the Pentatonic Master Pattern in different keys, positions and in chunks on different strings. Thank you !
Everybody online talks about ‘one pattern for all keys’ but fall short with their message -
you got the trick, man !
Funny how some folks were missing the point. You should still memorize the five box positions, but the heart of every one of those is two sub boxes. Once you remember where the roots are in each box, then if you get lost on the fretboard, you can find the root by ear, and instantly realize where you are. I wish I had the computer skills like this site. Good post.
your video rock clear and easy to understand -keep up the good work
An easy way to learn a pentatonic. Thank you for sharing!
Most difficult way I ever saw to learn a pentatonic
🤣🤣🤣 true much easier to just learn the regular pattern rather then learn how to shift the pattern then learn the pattern
@@devo229 - Here's a much easier way to remember. When moving up and down between patterns, if you just moved up 2 frets then the next note will be 3 frets up, and vice versa - with the exception of 1 string per pattern (or 2 if it's the E string).
This isn't the simplest thing in the world, but it's far simpler than this video.
How many pentatonic lessons do you need???
Horrible lesson
Are you pulling your hair out in frustration because your learn guitar program is taking too long and costing you too much money? Are you sick and tired of busting your butt painfully working your way through thick boring guitar books (full of nursery rhymes), following every guitar magazine routine, month after month and seeing no visible improvement in your guitar playing? Well, you're not alone! In fact ... visit here to get guitar lessons GuitarLessons99.blogspot.com
This really helped expand my understanding of where the 5 shapes are played on the fretboard when the root note is on any string, not just the 6th string. Thank you!
Jeff, You're welcome and I'm glad that it helped you understand your fretboard a little better. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the concept. Cheers!
I can learn all 5 before I can even remember half this stuff.
Wow some of these comments are hostile! It certainly seems that the majority human reaction is: "Your way of thinking is stupid because it isn't my way." Yes the method described here is illustrating the same thing as if you learn all the patterns by rote, but some of us aren't wired to find parrot-fashion learning easy. I (and a fair few others judging by the comments) like to see a structure in what we're doing and be able to work things out from a basic starting position. This approach caters to that sort of brain. If you have a way that works better for you then good luck to you, but don't crap on something just because it isn't a good fit for you; sometimes things are meant for other people. Hats off to you Mr Floyd, I find this both illuminating and refreshing that there's a science behind the art.
Kurt, thank you so much for the kind words. I totally agree with your statement about using what works for you. This video presents just one way, so give it a try and if it works - awesome! If it doesn't, then keep searching for the piece of the puzzle that will make things click for you. Cheers!
youre an idiot
It's ALL one. The fretboard. That's the master, but getting there, you can take many paths. People argue about 3nps or caged also. They are ALL good systems. If this pattern works for some people, then it is great. I already know my fretboard, and I like this fresh approach. Also, he's showing you the root. How many of you being hostile here can find your roots All over, without looking, while talking to your wife about dinner plans? No? Then maybe start there. With that foundation, you Can do this. Great video. And very well put together instructional wise. Graehme, I'm subscribing. Thank you for the video
Lol, no, its your way of thinking is stupid because it is, lol. Why would you memorize a bunch of pointless information instead of just memorizing the information you need, lol? This is all VERY WELL established music theory, and the very bottom of the barrel at that. There is no need to to memorize this nonsense that cant even be directly applied to the guitar without memorizing EVEN MORE useless nonsense. Its 5 fucking notes. Its not that hard.
@@MrGarlandSnow Nobody's forcing you. Thanks btw for illustrating my point with a perfectly intolerant response.
This makes real sense. The anchoring concept has actually made me play all around the neck...it takes a bit of practice though!! Big thank you!!!
ass1eman, Thanks for checking out the video and giving the concept a try.
Keeping track of the root notes and anchoring around the neck certainly does take some mental effort if you aren't used to it, but with a bit of time, it becomes automatic and will give you access to the entire fretboard.
Cheers!
Work through the Master Pattern at your own pace. I've posted this entire lesson as an article here: goo.gl/fijLR6 You can download a PDF version, too. Cheers!
Graehme, thanks so much for this lesson man, I can tell you have put a lot of time & effort into making it. I really enjoyed it. Yes, there's a bit to get your head around at first but then it just clicks. I agree with Ksuyna Ksuy's comments, learning the concepts behind this universally used scale and how to build around it up and down the entire neck were invaluable for me. The production value is A1, really easy to watch. AWESOME Gfx & well narrated mate. Cheers!
Scott, thank you very much for the kind words of support and I'm glad that you stuck with it to get something useful from it. Cheers!
All good! You’re welcome.
I’m looking forward to getting out of the same box pattern rut that I’ve been in for way too long. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Appreciated.
Peace. Out ✌️
This is what I was looking for........ very easy to understand
Thanks Very helpful. Its easy to understand when u already know the 5 shapes.
Jonathan, Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching and sharing. Cheers!
Great lesson!! I'm right at this stage in my playing to really use this lesson for all kinds of stuff! So glad I found this! Thank you!
I think the concept could be simplified if people first understand how patterns change as they move across the fretboard. For patterns moved up a string, the position on the g string is slid up a fret on the b string. It’s the opposite for patterns moved down a string. This is easier to see with octave patterns and chords, for example: e -> a -> d.
Very interesting approach and a great quality video. Thanks for sharing.
Curmudgeon,
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
You are absolutely right about the reason why patterns change - just an fallout of standard tuning.
My intention using the three step approach in the video was to try and amalgamate that adjustment into the process, however, there are certain those who would rather focus on patterns.
To each their own which is totally fine - as long as one can play what they want to play than I'm all for using what works for each person individually.
Cheers!
I like it, it takes a lot of patience and knowledge to do this so good.
Man, this made it so simple for me. Thank you so much.
Sameer, I'm glad you found it useful and thank you for watching. Cheers!
This is by FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR the best tutorial on the pentatonic scale I've seen on CZcams and its easy enough even I can learn it! Thank you so much sir!
God Bless You Graehme!....This is amazing.
Thank you for teaching us
I love this channel now
Most helpful many thanks Graehme now I understand the importance of starting on a root note.
Thanks Floyd🤗. Much appreciated your time to explain how the master pattern would work. Will follow your guidance. Have a good one!
Sang Tran, You're welcome and thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Good video. I have practiced pentatonic scales for a while and your "master scales" helps me alot.
This is the best lesson I've seen on the pentatonic. It gives the understanding of how, and why this works. Thanks so much.
Thank you sooo much. Took me several bites at the cherry but it stuck tonight! This master pattern approach solved several things simultaneously for me. God bless you!
Patrick, thanks for sticking with the idea and I'm glad it helped you to understand your fretboard better. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience working with the concept. Cheers!
It's a good Analysis of where the shapes come from to begin with. Anyone who enjoys the pentatonic should appriciate knowing why the five shape patterns are shaped that way.
Great explanation and visually expressed I can follow this thank you.
Just love it! Great job!
Wow! Very informative. Thanks a lot.
So helpful greatjob!
Janaldrin, I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers!
Most of the viewers find it complicated. But for me this is by far the easiest way that i can learn. Thanks 😊
Rainbow, Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I know that this approach isn't a perfect fit for everyone, but it's nice to hear from those for whom it works 😄 Cheers!
also for me, its just a lack of dedication for the most i guess,
Very good job with the video editing/montage, really liked it.
pitfrr, Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching. Cheers!
Bro!!! That's brilliant.
This is ABSOLUTELY the BEST mnemotechnical method to learn all the patterns. It took me one day to learn something that I've trying to learn for years and now I can generate any minor scale anywhere on the fretboard in seconds. THANKS!!!!!
davesdream, Thank you very much for the words of support! I'm so glad that this approach was able to help you expand your abilities on the guitar - this is exactly why I made the video in the first place.
I experienced something similar when I initially discovered this concept; I'm not the only one who has found this approach to scales, as has been shared in other comments. At the time, I was well-versed in the standard five patterns of the Minor Pentatonic scale, but always seemed to struggle with complete freedom across the fretboard. The Master Pattern was what finally allowed me to just drop my hand anywhere on the fretboard and be able to play with confidence.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cheers!
Man this is amazing technique, never seen that before but I definitely love it, It helps you think rather than just memorizing the five shapes. Keep on rocking
Ksuyna, thanks for watching and for your kind words of support. Cheers!
Brilliant visual and audio editing !!
notrubstudios, Thank you very much for the kind words, for watching, and for commenting. Cheers!
I learned everything in Perfect 4 tuning. Yes this is the best way to learn. Seeing the Perfect 4 pattern in every chord, scale, what have you, opens your eyes up to what is really there.
Yes, the 4th tuning is very interresting. I saw a video from Alex Hutchings and Tom Quale uses it, too. I think i want to try it also. It seems to make more sense than the standart tuning.
May you have any advice for this?
Enjoyed this. THank u
Thank you Graehme Floyd.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Very informative theory!
You're welcome, Vesileios. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Cheers!
THIS IS SO GOOD! I don’t have to blindly memorize the 5 patterns anymore. Can simply derive these patterns regardless of position
Glad you found it useful and thanks for the comment. Cheers!
This is the best explanation I have learned in years. Thanks
Thanks for posting this
Exactly what I was looking for!! You Rock!
Eric, I'm glad this was of help to you. Cheers!
Nice Trick ! Very innovative. Keep up the good work !
Love the video. This makes it way easier to remember the minor pentatonic scale.
Glad you found it helpful, Javier. Cheers!
Excellent information
Brilliant! Neat lesson👍🏾
very very useful in two hours of inmersive practice, focused. learn at 50 speed and practice ... it´s easy , very useful THKS A LOT G FLOYD!!!
Marmortheone, thank you for giving it a try and I'm glad it has helped you. Cheers!
this is a great video for driving home the point that the guitar string's patterns repeat both vertically and horizontally across the fretboard. it's a super important concept to grasp that can take years to click, so the more ways to think about it, the better. I'm concerned all the people complaining that you should "just learn the five patterns" are advocating not understanding how the patterns are derived which is key to freedom of movement during fast chord changes and key changes.
I totally agree with you, its a shame others dont appreciate the effort it takes but a life time of rewards in doing so.
Very entertaining.Love it!
Briliant! Easy to understand and follow. Foolproof!
jonnifjader, Thanks for the kinds words and sharing your experience working with the concept. I'm glad that you found it useful. Cheers!
This is great. Thanks. One you learn a lick in one position, this is great for shifting the licks to a new position too.
Eugene Wong,
I'm glad you found this to be helpful and I agree that it is a great way to move melodic ideas to different positions around the fretboard.
A further extension to this would be to breakdown the functional intervals of your phrase and keep them lined up in the new position, adjusting for any differences.
'm actually just finishing up a book which does into great detail about intervals on the fretboard as well as their application to melody and getting down lines for soloing. It's currently being Beta'd by some of my students and colleagues, but I hope to have it out for public release in the fall.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cheers!
This is very good trick. You show the the mystery of how pro thinking when improvisation
I cant believe this information is for free!!! I will be doing my homework on this; I promise!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MY FRIEND!!! GOD BLESS!
Celestial Body,
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you can make use of the concept in the video and keep in mind that the Master Pattern approach can be used with other kinds of scales, too.
The best way to support what I put out for the moment is to pick up a copy of one of my books or courses. You will find links to them in the description of the video, so take a look and see if there is anything that you might find useful.
Cheers!
Thanks very helpful.
From the engagement in the comments we know your concept is thought provoking. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Wow......totally reinvented the wheel.
I love how everyone has the new golden ticket. Same scales we all learned years ago.
Wow, very good. Appreciate it much .tq
Excellent sir... When I saw this video it's complicated me ... all your scratches note to book and watch your video again by again now it is the easy lesson I ever watched... Thanks lot sir...
Ivanthi, Well done sticking with the material and giving your all! I'm glad that you were willing to wrestle with it as it can be frustrating trying to learning anything new or challenging. Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing your experience with others who might be unsure about trying a new idea. Cheers!
I found it very useful. Thanks for sharing
Josh Collins, I'm glad you found it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
@@GraehmeFloyd I'm a beginner and I'm just practicing the scale shown in example here. I'll keep practicing that scale to develop my muscle memory and string transitioning and speed. I'll come back to this video later if it's still around and try to understand more of it. Lol ....its baby steps for me! Lol
Great video! Thank you!
Curtis, You're welcome! I hope it helped you to learn something new about your guitar. Thanks for watching watching and the kind words. Cheers!
As a beginner to play guitar which i feel easily know, God bless you hallelujah
Cool way to visualize it!
This didn't work for me but I'm happy to see that it helped others. We all learn things differently.
Thanks for sharing this Graehme.
Jim Allen, I appreciate you giving the concept a try even though it didn't quite resonate with you. It's certainly not a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, but I'm glad you gave it a fair chance. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
Thank you so much Graehme, now I know the
Connections between the 5 Positions!!
Matthias, you're welcome and thank you for watching. Cheers!
Súper video! Thanks!!!
Adolfo, Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching. Cheers!
Thanks for this lesson, I agree that this isnt for beginners and they might get lost. However, for some people who like to understand what theyre learning, instead of memorizing patterns, this video was really helpful.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I agree that if someone is brand new to the Minor Pentatonic scale, this approach may not be the best way to get started. However, once you are familiar with the scale, it is a great way to get immediate access to the scale in any key and position without having to memorize as much information. Cheers!
I disagree. I think that if you already use the scale, this could feel a bit distracting. As where having no existing roadmap committed to memory, there is a slot waiting to be filled. Make any sense? If you keep in mind that starting from root, there is 1 set of 3 frets followed by 3 sets of 2. the whole pattern is always 2 3s -3 2s repeat. The shapes kinda just fall into place.
Is a nice trick to track the notes in the guitar and practice the ear, im newbie in play scales and this will be so usefull. Thanks!
Wonderful!
CZcams is flooded with pentatonic videos, but this explanation is *the most logical*! If you find it hard, go memorize all shapes, then revisit, and you’ll get an answer WHY they are laid out like that.
michaos1, Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I agree with you that it may be better for those who are brand new to the Minor Pentatonic scale to familiarize themselves with the five patterns before trying this approach. But, hopefully, at that point, it helps to tie everything together. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video...very easy to understand..
You're welcome and thank you for watching. Cheers!
Very useful technique for RECOGNIZE (not memorize) pentatonic scale as i ever seen. Thankyou very much for sharing this technique.
This was helpful 👍🎉
SMART INTELLIEGENT APPROACH. SOUNDS ARE WHAT ATTRACTED US TO PLAY TONES. THANK YOU G . V..
Vincent, Thank you for watching, as well as the kind words of support. Cheers!
G , THE HONOR IS MINE ,YOUR SHARING WHATS IMPORTANT TO YOU , AND I AM ABLE TO GROW IN THAT . GIFTS ARE MORE THEN JUST BEING FREE , THEIR HEARTFELT. AGAIN THANK YOU .
Very interesting as a theory.. For practice, it
may be a little much to process. But I'm just a beginner, so it's helping me loads, thanks!
TheSunMoon,
This concept may or may not be appropriate for you to use as a means for learning to play the Minor Pentatonic scale as a beginner. I have worked with many students both online and in-person, and it really depends on the individual's personality/learning style as to whether this will be helpful in the early stages.
My suggestion to you is start by learning at least one standard Minor Pentatonic scale boxed shape - search Google for 'A Minor Pentatonic scale guitar' and you will find about a bazillion images, pages, lessons, videos, etc. for the basic pattern. Once you have at least once of the standard patterns under your fingers, try coming back to the Master Pattern. At that point, you may find that the concept starts to make more sense to you in terms of how it works on the fretboard.
Even then, it will take practice to make the use of the Master Pattern instantaneous across the fretboard for any key. However, because the steps that you follow are always the same - it's just the result that changes based on where you are - the repetition allows the method to become ingrained relatively quickly.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cheers!
There you go thanks !
Daniel Aldo, you're welcome and thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Good work
haha!!!! GREAT LESSON its not boring, dont change how you share your knowledge, new subs here🤘🖤
HOLY SMOKES! Have always been confused by all the different approches to learning the Pentatonic Scale(s) by different teachers. This approach is totally different, and refreshing. I'm going for it, plus down load the PDF version >>> Thank you for sharing this new approach!!!! p.s. Repetition is the key factor.
Graham, I'm glad you found the video inspiring enough to take action. As you said, repetition is the key; just keep at it and it will start to become clearer and more accessible on your fretboard. Cheers!
Fantastic!👏👏👏👏
Edoardo, thank you very much for the kind words and thanks for watching. Cheers!
i like this! sure u could learn each pattern separately, but this is actually easier cuz it shows how each pattern is formed & relates to the others. i gotta try this. thanx 4 sharing. subscribed!
Glad you found it useful and thanks for the sub. Cheers!
Well done thank you
Great thanks 👍
Its a very clever hack. Well done that peep and thanks. Usable any place, off the cuff, for jamming, gr8, but
wouldnt want to just do that for long. Need the challenges and sounds.
Scott Paul Johnson will bless you with the easiest way to truly understand and utilize
Christopher, I checked out Scott's channel and he indeed has some great lessons; His production quality and teaching style are top-notch. I definitely recommend that others go and watch his stuff, too!
However, his lesson on the Minor Pentatonic scale is basically the same approach that you will see everywhere - learn and memorize the 5 Minor Pentatonic scale shapes, and work on being able to position them for any key. This is fine is you are brand new to the scale and is a great way for many beginners to get started.
The method shown in the video above is intended to augment the basic 5 patterns and allow you to instantaneous access the Minor Pentatonic scale for any key, in any position, with as little thought process as possible.
As always, if it works for you great! If it doesn't then move on to find the method that allows you to do what you need to go on your guitar.
Thanks for watching the video and introducing me to Scott's channel.
Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your video. You deserve a BIG THUMBS UP.
Ariston Marcena,
You're welcome :D I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts on it.
Cheers!
Graehme
You are a guitar genius bro
New player here, came across this because while trying to learn 5 “shapes” I saw a pattern emerge and was trying to figure it out. This is it. Exactly what I was looking for. Makes so much more sense than learning 5 shapes. There really is only 1, just have to know how to change it based on where the root is! Thanks for this!
Scott,
I'm glad that the video helped to give you a 'lightbulb' moment in understanding the Minor Pentatonic scale a little better.
I will say that although this approach is a great way to connect everything together, you may still find it useful to get to know each of the five patterns, too. I've mentioned to others in comments that this is essentially how I came to find the Master Pattern concept in the first place; I learned the five shapes and then found the connection.
You can also take this approach with any of the other possible scales or modes on the guitar. You just need to workout the Master Pattern that fits each one, but the shifting concept is essentially the same. I do plan on eventually producing even more videos like this to explore other scales, but time has been limited lately with other projects taking priority.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cheers!
@@GraehmeFloyd this is exactly how I got here. I learned the 5 patterns but they just didn’t “stick”. This “aha” plus “seeing” how the edge of one shape is the start of the other put this together for me for the way my brain “works” better than simply memorizing. Thanks again and cheers to you, sir!
