Guitar: Master the A minor pentatonic and blues scale

In Zelus Academy’s online guitar course, understanding the pentatonic scale is fundamental for every guitarist. The A Minor Pentatonic Scale consists of five notes and is played with specific finger positions:

  • 6th String: Frets 5 and 8
  • 5th String: Frets 5 and 7
  • 4th String: Frets 5 and 7
  • 3rd String: Frets 5 and 7
  • 2nd String: Frets 5 and 8
  • 1st String: Frets 5 and 8

These finger positions provide a framework for improvisation and soloing across various musical styles.

To expand on this foundation, you can transform the A Minor Pentatonic Scale into the A Minor Blues Scale by simply adding one additional note. This added note is known as the "blue note," and it enhances the scale's expressiveness, giving it that distinctive bluesy feel.

Our guitar online learning program at Zelus Academy delves into these scales, teaching you how to seamlessly integrate the blue note into your playing. With detailed video tutorials, practical exercises, and interactive lessons, you’ll learn to master these scales and incorporate them into your solos and compositions. Enroll in our comprehensive online guitar course to elevate your playing and explore the rich world of guitar music. Continue reading
