C Major Pentatonic Scale – High Position
Continuing our study of the Major Pentatonic Scale, here it is in the key of C, in the higher position. This position begins on eigth fret of the E string. This is the same exact scale as shown in the previous lesson. the only difference is where on the neck you place the notes.
As always, remember your basics:
⁊ Start slowly
⁊ Play it 10 times, perfectly
⁊ Increase speed slowly
Practice the scale in this position only… for now. In the next lesson, I’ll show you the same scale in a different spot on the neck.
C Major Pentatonic Scale – Upper Position
 |
As Always: Remember, this isn’t a race. Strive for accuracy above all else. Increase your speed just two beats (per minute) at a time, playing the scale perfectly ten times in a row before adding another two beats.
Practice this scale every day for one week, then review it twice a week for the rest of the month. By then, you’ll have it committed to memory for life!
Aim High – Play Low!

Mr.LoB,
After I play through this a few times it starts sounding like “My Girl” very cool.
Mike
Hi, Mike. You’re right – it does sound like My Girl. That line is 1 – 3b-3-5-6-8 … the only thing missing from this scale is the flat 3 (3b).
What’s really cool is that you’ve now seen how knowledge of scales can help you learn bass lines… and help you build lines of your own. Good job!
Keep Thumpin’!
