Keep Track of the Chord Changes Over Major and Minor Chords

Pointer Finger

As a song goes back and forth over major and minor chords, use pointer finger on high E string to set your notes. 

  • So if the song is on a G major chord, first finger will land on third fret of low E then you can solo with the first position  Major Pentatonic notes. 
  • If the song  is on an A minor chord, first finger will land on fifth fret of the low E then you can solo with the first position Minor Pentatonic notes.

Then, focus on just the part of the scale in the red box/circle.

NO BENDING of the Chord Tones. Chord tones are the shape of the chord when played.
