Mixing Minor & Major Pentatonic Scales

Blending, mixing, mingling, combining, merging, fusing, melding – whatever you choose to call it – using these two seemingly identical scale forms together will expand your blues guitar playing to new depths, and allow you to dance between tonalities at will. Some guitar players learn the major pentatonic by simply moving their favorite minor pentatonic scale form down a few frets and repeating the same riffs they'd normally play, but this approach leads to stale melodies and uninteresting guitar playing. With the addition of position shifting, you can transform those bland sounds into highly expressive and emotional music.
