E Minor Pentatonic Scale For Bass Guitar – Two Octaves
The keys of E and E minor – or a mashup of both – are arguably the most used keys in Rock and heavier music. (Even if you de-tune a half or whole step, you’re playing in the position that would be E on a standard tuned instrument.) And it’s fair to say that the Em pentatonic scale is at the heart of a significant majority of rock riffage. Therefore, it’s probably a really good idea to learn the E minor pentatonic scale early, and study its potential for your entire career as a bassist.
Here then is a look at the Em pentatonic scale in two octaves.

[..YouTube..] Actually, it’s BOTH! The Em pentatonic uses the same notes as the G major pentatonic scale. The only difference is the starting point.

you are very confusing….not a good video for begginers
It would be easier if you started at the beginning of the minor pentatonic lessons, instead of jumping ahead. If you go back and watch the lessons on A Minor Pentatonic, I think it will help. Good luck, and Keep Thumpin’!
