Altex,
Yes, I love using the blues scale below as well! The 6 and 7 transition note on A and G strings really makes it unique!
e - 5 & 8
b - 5 & 8
g - 5 & 7 & 8
d - 5 & 7
a - 5 & 6 & 7
E - 5 & 8
Does anyone know any guidelines for moving this scale up and down the neck like the minor pentatonic? Do you have to adjust it like you do with the minor pentatonics? ? or does it stay the same and you just have to move it up 2 frets for a whole tone and 1 fret for a 1/2 tone?
Thanks,

has anyone played a rogue ea3 lap stel guitar? I was thinking of trying one but the price on musician's friend (80$) makes me wonder what kind of value I will be getting. I am not new to guitar but am new to lap steels and thought it would be fun to try a new instrument. Pedal steels are too pricey for just a musical experiment,
anyone?

Hey these patterns are great! does anyone know or use the patterns for minor pentatonic that begin in the 5th string? I like to use these scales and go back and forth with major scales on my leads. I think it sounds good. Does anyone see any problems with that?

ok, here's another question, If I am playing a Am pentatonic scale over a song written in C major, should I resolve my phrases on the root chord of the C (which is the 3rd note of the scale or the A? (which is the root of the Am)
Also while we are on the subject I now that I can convert the am pentatonic to a blues scale by adding the half step between the 4th and 5th but should I add the half step between f and g (4th and 5th of the c scale) or between Dand E( 4th and 5th of the Am scale?
I think the answers to my questions above are that I should resolve on the C (3rd note of the Am pentatonic) and put the half step note between F and G because I am playing a song in the key of C. But, I am not sure hence the question. Thank you in advance for anyhelp.

oh, ok, i get it. I know about the relative minors and that makes sense, because they have the same notes. Do you try to follow the chord structure of the song and if so do you use the root of the major scale or the minor scale? Thanks for th sesponse by the way, I was confused

In all the instructional books I have read, they say the most useful beginning scale is the minor pentatonic. Most of the songs I play or even see around are written in major keys. Why is this? Are you supposed to play the G minor pentatonic in a solo when the song you are playing in is in G major? Please help this is confusing me.
