If you're playing your A minor pentatonic rooted at A on the 5th fret of the 6th string, you can move it to any other root note on that same string to play it in that key.
Move it just one full step (2 frets) closer to the nut, so third fret, and now it's G minor penta. Move it one minor third (3 frets) closer to the bridge, so eighth fret, and now it's C minor penta. You'll find E minor penta starts at 12th fret of 6th string. -------------------- ::jafomatic

Set your root note where you need and play the same shape. As Jafomatic said, if you start from 12th fret you'll be playing E pentatonic. You need to know when to use it. Obviously if the chord in the background is E then you can go for E pentatonic etc... That's the simplest approach but it works for the start.

I am asking this because you still sounds like it's not 100% clear to you Try this lesson just to learn the boxes. This one is in the key of A. You have scale diagram included. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Yeah, you can find same box twice on fingerboard most likely,
even with 21 fret. -------------------- Youtube
