Ya that seems to make sense to me. Because when I play minor pentatonic over major chords it sounds great. Thanks for your help.

thanks andrew. im addicted to theory now I'm glad And since you got 2 answers before I even read your question I see I am not needed around here anymore (just kidding - great to see others helping out with theory, and cool to see Kaneda back, even if it is just briefly ) -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Aha! Very good question!
The answer is that there is no set way to do it. Do it in one way and you will get boxes, do it slightly differently and you will get 3 note per string scales. Do it as you said and you can play the whole scale on 1 string. What these are, are patterns that reproduce the scale. Each scale has many possible patterns on the guitar, some are more useful and common than others - there are no rules on when to change string though, just convention, and convention is dictated by what works best. Boxes are good for beginners, and arpeggios, 3nps are great for fast speedpicking runs for instance. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Stop the humble pie. You're essential, Andrew. Speaking for myself, I tend to just complicate things People would run away screaming if I ran the place Here's the plan then - I'll lure them in with the simple stuff, then you nail 'em when they can no longer run away I see thanks alot Andrew couldn't have explained it better, once again thanks! Cool -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

You are right I believe andrew wrote it like that as it is an introduction to scales, didn't want to confuse anybody with double sharps or a B# ("hey i thought there was no such thing?!?") well picked up though - i see you are on the right track Thanks for the defence DeepRoots Things get a bit hairy with that many harps and I didn;t want to confuse things but you are absolutlely correct. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
