We guitarists love the minor pentatonic. But unfortunately, if the song is in the key of A, we can't play the A Minor Pentatonic. Well, we can, actually. But it won't sound very good. So here's a music theory / guitar lesson that help you make sense of this thing called Relative Major and Minor.
Here's a free Relative Major and Minor Reference Chart to download and keep handy as you're learning these.
This segment is part of a larger lead guitar training video called Lead: Step One. It's available on DVD, Digital Download, or you can buy just the sections you want:
| Pentatonic Scale 1 | Pentatonic Scale 2 | Pentatonic Scale 3 |
| Major Scale 1 | Major Scale 2 | Major Scale 3 |
