E Minor Pentatonic Scale. The first block of numbers shows each of the actual shapes. There are five shapes in total, so the last shape is just to demonstrate that when you reach an octave up (12th fret for the E scale) you go back to the first shape again. The scales that follow simply show you how to play the notes from the first two shapes in ascending order, to help clear up any possible confusion on what to do with the shapes. A scale like this is the most basic pentatonic scale. What you want to do is to play them in different and changing combinations of runs up and down. You will also want to listen to other lead guitarists use the scales and what they do with them. Only by listening to other musicians use the scales and playing with them yourself will you develop your own lead breaks. Good luck! |-0-3-5-7-10-12-15-----------------------0-3---------------------3-5--| |-0-3-5-8-10-12-15-------------------0-3---------------------3-5------| |-0-2-4-7--9-12-14---------------0-2---------------------2-4----------| |-0-2-5-7--9-12-14-----------0-2---------------------2-5--------------| |-0-2-5-7-10-12-14-------0-2---------------------2-5------------------| |-0-3-5-7-10-12-15---0-3---------------------3-5----------------------|
