I thought I'd start plotting out some pentatonic diagrams and overlay them with other handy information. Here's the start of my first idea Pentatonics with the diatonic triads overlayed.

The pentatonic scale is the clear circles, the triad note is a black circle if it is part of the pentatonic scale and a black square if it is an additional note. I've kept the notes to only the ones 1 fret away from the scale.

You can see the CAGED system in this

The 1st diagram showing the G shape
The 2nd diagram showing the A shape (minor)
The 4th diagram showing the C shape
The 5th diagram showing the D shape
The 6th diagram showing the E shape (minor)

Let me know if these are helpful and I'll post the other pentatonic boxes

Great stuff, PB! cool.gif Seeing the bigger picture of the Pentatonic boxes in this way is invaluable in finding new and creative ways to play over chords and chord changes and will go a long way in developing a wide vocabulary of licks and phrases and the ability to create them on the spot during improvisation.
This is a bit off topic, but here is some more Pentatonic candy from Scott Henderson.
