Discuss the Banjo lesson: Intro to Minor Blues Scale

Ben,
In the mando section in the “Jamming the Mj & Min Penta” you show where to “noodle” the pentatonic over the 1,4,5 chords. For this blues scale, does it work to place the finger pattern in measure 53 over the 4 and 5 chords at 5th an 7th (17 & 19) frets? or is there a better way to find those scale tones?
p.s. while trying to write this is I figured out this placement but not sure it is the the best way.

Yeah, I think so! Since it’s a closed pattern it will work wherever you want to move it.
