The pentatonic scale is a five-note subset of the major scale that is often heard in the bass-line of rock, jazz, and blues songs. The scale can broken down into five overlapping “box patterns” — each containing all of the notes of the scale. Each pattern connects to the one after it. By linking the patterns you can play the scale up and down the entire fretboard.
