I’ve recently been made aware that if the 5 pentatonic scale box forms in any given key are moved up or down the fretboard by either a fourth or a fifth, then the resulting pentatonic scales in the relocated positions will have contain notes that are still in the original key signature. For example, in the Key of C/Am, the Am pentatonic scale contains the notes A,C,D,E,G. 1. If the Pentatonic Box 1 is moved up the fretboard by a fourth, then the scale becomes Dm pentatonic with the notes D,F,G,A,C. All of these notes are still in the original Key of C/Am. 2. If the Pentatonic Box 1 is moved up the fretboard by a fifth, then the scale becomes Em pentatonic with the notes E,G,A,B,D. All of these notes are still in the original Key of C/Am. Is this information useful for guitarists to know? I’m an intermediate player with lots to learn!
