Updated: Aug 17, 2018


A scale reference for Major Pentatonic Scale box shapes.

These are the five shapes/patterns for major scale on guitar based off the CAGED System.


1 (E Shape)


2 (D Shape)


3 (C Shape)


4 (A Shape)


5 (G Shape)



PRACTICE TIPS

  1. Pick a key.

  2. Locate the note on a string.

  3. Overlay the pattern with the 'R' falling on the note of a chosen key.

  4. Play pattern up and down then pick another key.

  5. Practice ONE shape a day and spend 2mins learning the pattern and moving it around to different keys.

If this all seems confusing then check out my free lessons onFretboard Knowledge: 1, 2, 3, 4. I hope you have found this useful, let me know in the comments :)
