Confused about pentatonics

[mm66]

Hello All,

I'm trying to learn the ascending and descending pentatonic scales using the length of the neck in all keys. When I play the key of C, in all the forms the major (diamond) was a C and the minor (circle) was an A. I figured this is how it's supposed to be so I went on to the key of G. In the bonus workshop, Steve says to start in the second form on the second fret and the major is a G and the minor is an E. All good. I assume, you descend in the third form from the 4th position and once again the major is a G and the minor an E. But when you play the 4th form in the 6th position the minor is a D# and the major is an F#. Even in the 7th position the minor in an E but the major would be a G#. In the fourth form the minor and the major are 4 frets apart. How would you ever fit a E and a G there? Hope this makes sense but I'm really confused. I tried to watch the DVD over and over but Steve plays so fast I can't figure out what he's doing. Thanks again for any help.

I hope the diagram will help.

This is your fourth form in the 7th position. I used hollow squares for the major roots and hollow circles for the minor roots. As you can see there are E’s, G’s, and no accidentals.

@V7#5b9  Your middle name must be "clarity"!  You have a real knack for making it easier to understand.

Thanks,

Bryan

Nah, I just pick good teachers. In other words, I feed off smarter people than me and then try to relay the info. ? Thanks Bryan, I appreciate your kind comment.
