Our latest chart is a soloing scale for the Minor Pentatonic Scale for Blues, Rock or Latin music for any key.

This pattern is used for playing guitar solos for blues, rock or latin songs. It is a movable pattern because all of the strings are closed and it can be used for any key. Starting on the 6th string locate the note that matches the key you are playing in. You can now play this pattern or parts of it over the chords of the key and it should sound pretty good, i.e. key of C starts on the C note at the 8th fret on the 6th string, G would start at the 3rd fret.

You can play notes from this pattern while someone else plays the song. Or put some notes in at the end of a phrase for an accent or solo.

For example in the illustration above the key of C starts on the 8th fret on the 6th string. The pattern can be moved up or down the fret board for whatever key you are in.

The Minor Penatonic Movable Soloing Guitar Scale chart is included in our book Essential Chords for Guitar, Mandolin, Ukulele and Banjo
