@Loraine is a good way to look it for finger patterns but to go a little deeper @BarbaraM

I look at it as:

Minor Pentatonic- 1 3b 4 5 7b (Excludes 2 and 6)

Major Pentatonic- 1 2 3 5 6 (Excludes 4 and 7)

With 1 as the root note so… for some examples …

Dm Pentatonic- D F G A C < C A G F D

Am Pentatonic- A C D E G < G E D C A

Em Pentatonic- E G A B D < E D B A G

D Major Pentatonic-D E F# A B < B A F# E D

C major Pentatonic- C D E G A < A G E D C

G major Pentatonic- G A B D E < E D B A G

Wow. That awakened my inner number cruncher!
