Moose, good catch I was getting ahead in order of lessons. I will point out one thing to consider. All the pent shapes are chords, in fact every pent scale has within it a chord/triad and once you are aware it is easy to see the corresponding CAGED chord shapes in every scale shape. Kinda cool. I would go further by saying every chord/triad is the foundation that the Pent scale builds on by adding two notes. That is then the foundation for the Octave scale (two half steps) when two more notes have been added. Root Note, Chord, Pent scale, Octave scale. That is the hammer and nails of improvisation in order of complexity.
