jordans 2011 How to Play G Major and E Minor Penta

Playing the same basic pentatonic (5 tone) scale with the right phrasing and articulations can make the same scale sound like a rock song, a smooth jazz song, and so on.
Five notes can really go far when creating music. Additional notes can be added to spice things up – make the scale sound more bluesy or jazzy. Pentatonic scales can really be thought of as foundation scales that a guitarist can build new scales around, like the Blues Scale or the Jazz Scale (such as, G Pentatonic Minor Scale with 6th).
In the first measure (see link below) [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a guitarist would play the A note with their third finger and have their first finger planted on the G note. That is, they would play A, then pull off to G, then pull off to E in one continuous motion. The guitar
In other words, playing a scale horizontally may be easier than playing a scale vertically. Of course, it depends on the scale and the techniques being used.
The E Pentatonic (5 tone) Minor Scale (E [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], G, A, B, D) is great to solo with. A guitarist should notice that E Pentatonic Minor and G Pentatonic Major scales have the same notes – however it is the interval sequence played that makes the difference. This result should be compare to the G major and E minor scales for similar results – same key and same notes.
The first articulation shown in the example below is called a pull-off (denoted E String (TAB) -------5---------3----------0----------
The Lead patterns (G Pentatonic Major Scales: G, A , B, E, D) shown below are great for improvisations. A developing guitarist will find it may be a bit easier to play along the length of the guitar fretboard, than to play a scale pattern from top to bottom in one position (see link for E Pentatonic Minor Scales below).

A Systematic Approach to Learning Guitar: Scales
E Pentatonic Minor Scale (E, G, A, B, D)
There are five essential pentatonic scales (vertical patterns) and two essential lead scales (horizontal patterns) described in this article. Also, the pull-off, vibrato, and tremolo techniques are discussed.
The G Pentatonic Major Scale is simply created by dropping the 4th and 7thdegree/notes of the G major scale/key (G, A, B, C, D, E, F#). That is, one simply drops the C and the F sharp notes from the G major scale, producing the G pentatonic (5 tone) major scale (G, A, B [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], D, E).
What a guitarist does is play the higher note, then “pull-off” to the lower note with another finger.They only play the first note. When they pull-off, they slightly pluck the string downward with the starting finger on the starting note.
G Pentatonic Major Scale (G, A, B, E, D)
A developing guitarist only needs to learn the five fundamental and movable patterns. Once a guitarist learns the movable patterns move the root patterns), they should add articulations to their soloing.
A guitarist can use Lead Patterns:
The Pull-Off Technique
To improvise.To add sliding techniques to their playing – legato slide.To cover the full fretboard of the guitar – cover more octaves.To make their playing look more interesting – eye catching.To transition all over the fretboard and play more dynamically.To help learn other guitarist’s solos.
