About this scale
The minor pentatonic is the most-played guitar scale in the world. Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, BB King — all built their careers on these 5 notes. Its five positions (CAGED boxes) cover the entire neck and allow immediate improvisation over any blues or rock. It is the absolute first scale to learn on guitar.
