gtarczar March 9, 2010 at 2:04 am: the pentatonic scales are usually the first scales learned on the guitar The major pentatonic and the minor pentatonic are actually the same scale with different root notes. This concept is known as relative major and minor. The C major / A minor is usually the first scale learned. The next scales would be the standard major scales. Once you learn all the positions of both types of scales then you can go on to more exotic scales. Get a good teacher who can show you how to play and use these scales, it will save you a lot of time and frustration.
