I'm confused
When he puts the A Minor Pentatonic scale in tab form it shows to play the E 6th String on the 5th tab, but when I tried to find out where he was starting out from on lesson 4 and started counting the scale (as in E open, so that means first fret would be F, second fret would be F#, third fret G minor, etc). I didn't get the 5th fret at A, I got the 5th fret at G#. So am I counting wrong? 
Alexiaden9321st May 2009Another awesome lesson, I can't say I'm surprised !
- Andrew Cockburn22nd May 2009
Sorry for the late reply -
0 (open) - E
1 - F
2 - F#
3 - G
4 - G#
5 - A
So yes, the 5th fret is in fact A. - WPX TacoMan47721st July 2012
