Minor Pentatonic Scales

The minor pentatonic scales essentially "augment" the minor chord forms in the same way that the major pentatonic scales extend the major chord forms. The notes of the minor chord forms can be found within the scales, and can be used to "reference" the scales on the fretboard. The scales below are shown next to the chord forms that are "embedded" within them.

The "root" notes of the scale are shaded in the diagrams.
