My question is this, Kris's tab shows a shift on the G string 9\7. If shifting from root note, would'nt we shift on the D string 10\7? Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Thanks!

The really important rule is that you slide from one note in the lower box to another note in the higher box, or the other way around. There is no need to think specifically about root notes - you are trying to make some sort of a run of notes that stays within the pentatonic scale, yet at one point shifts between boxes. Fret 9 on the G string is an E, Fret 7 is a D - both of these notes are in the A minor Pentatonic scale (which is i thkn the scale you are working with from your description) so you can slide between them just fine You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As long as we follow the pattern of notes that 's in the Pentatonic shape's then were fine? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And in so doing, you have played to notes E followed by D, and at the same time moved boxes, ready to play more notes of course. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I just finished reading your theory basic's and boy did it open my eyes! I printed off the note chart and hung it on the wall right above my amp. Man, thanks again!
