Thanks for your detailed reply, and I should save it for later reference! But, no, I was only talking about the pentatonic scales; I know the other major, minor, mixolydian etc scales are a whole ‘nother ball of wax. One pattern at a time is enough for my old brain!
So, what you are saying the Cmajor pentatonic is related to the Am pentatonic (since it is the 6th of the key of C…?), so that is why the notes are the same? So, for example the major pentatonic in the key of G would have the same notes as the Em pentatonic? That’s where my confusion comes in. If I start the major C pent. with my pinky on the root note on the low E (8th fret), which is the first note played? the 5th fret (A)? And the minor C pent.? Starts with index on root and goes up?
I don’t remember this from FW, so I better take it again; I only understood about 20% of it the first time.
