Minor Pentatonics
The minor pentatonic scale is often thought of as a blues scale, the blues scale is another, but very similar scale. This scale is actually a smaller, 5 note version of the 7 note relative minor scale. ("Penta" is derived from "pente", which means 5 in Greek. Don't get confused because you see more than five notes in each pattern, the notes are just repeating themselves.
You can use this scale over the minor triad or power chord of the key that you
want. You can also use the scale below over chords in the key of A minor, when
these chords are used in a progression that centers around an A minor triad or
an A power chord. It will also work over chords in the major key two frets
lower. Use this scale over chords in the key of G major, again, only if these
chords center around an A minor triad or power chord. The scale below is in the
key of A minor.
