The difference is due to standard tuning versus Drop D tuning.
“The pentatonic scale shape differs for drop D tuning and standard tuning on the guitar because of the difference in the string pitch tuning: The strings are E, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest to highest.
D tuning: The strings are D, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest to highest. The lowest string is tuned down a whole step from E to D.
The pentatonic scale is a scale with five notes per octave, and there are five shapes for the pentatonic scale. The major and minor pentatonic scales are the same group of notes, but the root note is different.”
“In drop D tuning (DADGBE), every note that was on the 6th string is now 2 frets higher. The patterns on the other 5 strings are the same.”
