Thread: Box shapes for moveable pentatonic scales?

    Default Box shapes for moveable pentatonic scales?

    There are good places to find directions on how to play moveable pentatonic scales.

    I also have a Kay's Frets mandolin rubber stamp for chord shape which, of course, can be used to put in box shapes for scales.

    It would be useful to actually find shape diagrams online for moveable pentatonic scales. Anyone know where?

    Thanks, Kgreene, I've got that link already. It is great! Yes, very good indeed. What's I am hoping for, though, is that somebody somewhere has actually charted out the moveable pentatonic scales (in a tab block like I can do with the Kay's Frets rubber stamp blank block shape) . No biggie, though -- I've already charted out the first one that can chart them out using this video. It's just more trouble, is all.

    And the answer is....

    Here's the box shapes for pentatonic chords, all on one page. $4 to download:

    Here is the info: a diagram of the mandolin neck with the notes placed for the scale/double stop patterns. Pentatonic Scales can be found here: http://pickinlessons.com/movable-maj...-video-lesson/

    If you know the tones, and you should, you could just put them in your ffcp practice scale work.

    And save $4.

    And they'd probably stay with you longer because you knew how you built them.

    I'm not sure what they're offering in that $4 work sheet. I make "cheat sheets" for my own use and for guitar students sometimes, here's one I had in attachments already from another thread. It shows Bb Major, but of course the shapes can be moved all over the neck for any key.
