thanks for replying so fast

Nope.  Just study and practice.

The "A minor pentatonic" is just one of five pentatonic patterns, and it's not specific to A minor.  It's the same pattern no matter where you play it.  Want to play C# minor pent?  Put your index finger on C#, and play the same pattern.  G minor?  Put your finger on G and off you go.

Given that there are only five patterns for each mode, there isn't really all that much to learn.  You could learn *every* major and minor scale by simply learning 10 patterns.  Learn their associated chord shapes, and you're really going to be smoking.

hey jerome thanks for the help but just a quick question what do u mean by the chord shapes associated with them is that like if u were playing a scale in A u need to learn all the different types of A chord on the neck or is there something a bit different to this or am i just being a bit thick?

i  play the pentatonic scale with a few exra notes calling it the blues pentatonic for example Am blues pentatonic would be -

E  5-8
A  5-6-7
D  5-7
G  5-7
B  4-5-8
E  5-8

and ont he way up it would be exactly the same only instead of playing 7-5 on the G ud play it 8-7-5

its nice to add the extra notes i think it sounds good and i practice it quite alot and also throw a jam track on and have a bit of a mess around with it
please correct me if theres anything wrong all your info helps me out.

id go for the LINE 6 POD ive bought one and there great any sound u want is there from effects to different amps its great to run through any amp (just think if your bored of your marshall amp why not try a fender or even the vox AC30 or whatever its called) one problem is though its about £200 but its worth every penny u can also get a pedal board version to.

its just above the fretboard i cant let her  no its not an expensive guitar its samick or summit u no of any sites that would supply this type of guitar she is gonna murder me if she finds out im bricking it, the only good thing i can come up with is that it wasnt one of my guitars
