The document provides instructions for playing the A minor pentatonic scale in the first position on the guitar neck. It explains that the minor pentatonic scale can be connected across the neck using two patterns and shows the first position. It also notes that the minor pentatonic scale should be used relative to the major scale, using A minor pentatonic for songs in Bb major as an example. The text then explains how to find the relative minor scale by counting down three notes from the root of the major scale and gives C major and its relative minor A minor pentatonic as an example.

1. Minor pentatonic diagonally up (and down) the neck.
Pattern 1 in A.
This means slide.
Root Notes
Most learn the minor pentatonic in five positions on the neck. The reality is,
most musicians connect the five positions using two patterns that cover the
neck. This is the first position. Remember, the Pentatonic minor is used in
the context of the relative major scale. For example you shouldn’t use the A-
minor pentatonic for the Bb major scale, …well you could if you wanted to
but….don’t create any abuse you cant handle. Use only the index and third
finger of your playing hand and slide up when you have to.
In order to find the relative minor, count down three notes from the root note
in the major scale.
e.g. the notes in the key of C major are:
C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C
Counting backwards, we’ll get C-B-A, so the relative minor for a song in C
Major will be the A Minor Pentatonic. Which starts at the third fret.
The image of which is above.
So go there. Again.
