• 6th Blues Pentatonic Drill:  2 Fattest Strings.  Mode 1, Position 1.   Root, flat 3, 5, flat 3.
Note1:  Please note, that I call the fattest string, the 1st string.  Thus, the second fattest string would be the 2nd string, and the skinniest string would be the 6th string, and so on.
Note2: If at any time you are experiencing pain during the playing of this exercise or any other exercise I give, then stop immediately!  Please!  It doesn’t help me as a teacher to gain students with tendonitis, or other guitar injuries.
Note3: 1: Refers to the section of pentatonic drills.  In this case, 1 means that the drill is for 1 and 2 strings.  For example, the second section uses 3 strings.
Note4: 1:1  The 2nd 1 of 1:1 refers to the position of the blues pentatonic scale that is used.  As a pentatonic scale has 5 notes, there are 5 positions.  These positions are all part of a scale.  One can switch between positions and not play any wrong notes.  1:1a-1:1e in its entirety can be raised/lowered as much as 11 half steps to result in modes with root notes in different keys.  Also, note that the pattern changes between the 1st and 2sn strings because the intervals between open strings when using standard tuning are not always the same.
1:1a  Position 1 in the key of E minor is as follows.  1st string; 12th fret and 15th fret.  2nd string; 12th and 14th fret.  3rd string; 12th and 14th fret.  4th string; 12th and 14th fret.   5th string; 12th and 15th fret.  And the 2nd string follows the same pattern as the 1st string. 
1:1b  Position 2 in the key of E minor is as follows.  1st string; 3rd and 5th fret.  2nd string; 2nd and 5th fret.  3rd string; 2nd fret and 5th fret. 4th string; 2nd and 4th fret. 5th string; 3rd and 5th fret. And the 6th string 3rd and 5th fret.
1:1c  Position 3 in the key of E minor is as follows.  1st string; 5th and 7th fret.  2nd string; 5th and 7th fret.  3rd string; 5th and 7th fret. 4th string; 4th and 7th fret.  5th string; 5th and 8th fret.  6th string 5th and 7th fret.
1:1d  Position 4 in the key of E minor is as follows.  1st string; 7th and 10th fret.  2nd string; 7th and 10th fret.  3rd string; 7th and 9th fret.  4th string; 7th and 9th fret. 5th string; 8th and 10th fret. And on the 6th string 7th and 10th fret.
1:1e  Position 5 in the key of E minor is as follows.  1st string; 10th and 12th fret.  2nd string; 10th and 12th fret.  3rd string; 9th and 12th fret.  4th string; 9th and 12th fret. 5th string; 10th and 12th fret. 6th string 10th fret and 12th fret.
Note5: 1:1:1  The third 1 of 1:1:1 refers to the mode of the pentatonic scale that is used.  There are 5 modes.  Though there is at least one major mode and one minor mode, to my knowledge, these modes don’t commonly go by names such as Lydian, or Ionian.
Note6: 1:1:6  The 4th 1:1:6  refers to the specific lesson title.  That is that this lesson is a drill that uses the Root note, the 4th note, and the 5th note of the major scale in a pattern.
The Lesson Itself
1:1:6:1 A pentatonic scale is a 5 note scale.  Usually, for the blues pentatonic scale, scalar positions have 2 notes per string.  That is there are, 2 possible notes on the 1st string, 2 possible notes on the 2nd string, 2 possible notes on the 3rd string, 2 possible notes on the 4th string, 2 possible notes on the 5th ring and 2 possible notes on the 6th string for any given position.  The notes for these exercises will all be played on the 1st and 2nd strings, which are the 2 fattest strings.  If your guitar is a standard 6 string with standard 6 string tuning then sometimes the 1st string is called the low E string, and the 2nd string is called the A string.
1:1:6:2  I will call the first mode of the blues pentatonic scale to be a minor scale.   5 notes of this pentatonic pattern follow the formula; root, flat 3, 4, 5, and flat 7, where the next note is an octave where the scale repeats itself.  Perhaps, it would be better to call it a hexave, but since intervals are told usually with respect to a 7 note major scale, the 8th note of the Ionian mode, which is another name for a classical major scale is an octave.  An octave is the same note as the root note, only an octave higher.  
1:1:6:3   The root note will be the lowest note for this exercise.  The root note does not have to be the first note, nor the lowest note, but for this lesson it will be.  Laying out the pattern root, flat 3, 4, 5, on a fret board that has standard tuning will always follow the following pattern:  On the 1st string, the root will be the first note, and the second note of the pentatonic scale ascends 3 half step on the same string, which is the 1st string, and the 4th is a whole step up from flat three, and is at the same fret as the root note, but on the 2nd string.  Like the 4th, the 5th is also played on the 2nd string.  This 4 note pattern represents a cross section of the blues pentatonic scale, where each drill will contain between 2 to 4 of this pattern of notes.
1:1:6:4  The time signature will be 4/4 time.  That means that it is to be counted in 4s.  Where the 1st note of the 4 note sequence is played slightly louder than the rest.
1:1:6:5  Time to play.  Make sure your guitar is in tune, and has standard tuning.  In another blog, I describe how this is to be accomplished through the usual methods.
1:1:6:6  With your index finger play the 12th note of the 1st string with a down stroke.  This place on the fret board is usually designated with a double dot marking.  This should be an E note.  Use your right hand to mute all the strings except for the string that is being played.  The next note to be played is a flay 3rd from the E.  It is also an G note.  It is at the 15th fret but on the 1st string.  Play the 3rd note on the 2nd string with the ring finger, such that the transition actually causes the 1st  string to be muted.  This note is played with an upstroke and is called a 5th.  In this case the 5th is an A note in the key of E.  The 2nd flat 3rd is the 4th note of the sequence.  It is to be played on the first string.  It is played with an upstroke at the 15th fret.  Again, you want to try to mute all the strings, except for the one that you are playing.
1:1:6:7  Next repeat this pattern, always using a down stroke on the 1st sting when playing the root note.  Play the pattern four times.  Later, sometimes I will indicate that you should use down strokes for each note that is played. 
1:1:6:8  Next, play the same pattern a half step lower.  This steps of moving this pattern up and down the fret board cause key changes.  It will follow the pattern, 1st string 11th fret using the index finger, 1st string 14th fret using the pinky finger, 2nd string 13th fret using the ring finger, and finish with the 4th note on the 1st string at the 14th fret using the pinky finger.  Play this four times, counting 4s.
1:1:6:9 Next, play the same pattern a half step lower.  It will follow the pattern, 1st string 10th fret using the index finger, 1st string 13th fret using the pinky finger, 2nd string 12th fret using the ring finger, and finish with the 4th note on the 1st string at the 13th fret using the index finger.  Play this four times, counting 4s.
