Website with Minor Pentatonic Scales Starting in Open Position
Does anyone know of such a site? Everything I can find seems oriented towards electric. I can build my own scale diagrams but I’d rather find something pre-made. I’m more interested in e and a but it would be nice to find them all in one place.

If you have a smartphone or tablet, there are apps (lots of 'em) that show you any scale you want to see in any key, over the entire fretboard or position by position if you prefer. Minor pentatonic, major pentatonic, major, modes, all sorts of stuff.
And I'm sure you know this, but the minor pentatonic is the same on acoustic as on electric. You seemed concerned that everything is geared to electric, but when it comes to chords and scales, it doesn't matter... -Ray

Here's a pretty rudimentary lesson link on Pentatonic Shapes. I'm not sure what you mean by geared towards electric, you can take a Pentatonic Shape and slide it anywhere on the neck of the guitar, lower or higher, or even the open position.
You can also add ' half steps ' into the pentatonic to make things interesting. This link seems to have the meat and bones of pentatonic shapes, probably not the half steps, but once you learn the pentatonic and get comfortable, the half steps can come by ear. I call them half steps, they might be called incidentals actually, not exactly sure, they are notes that do not comprise the pentatonic scale per se, but they sound good when playing a lead. https://www.guitarlessons.com/guitar...c-scale-shapes J |

These are the notes in G major.
G=1 A=2 B=3 C=4 D=5 E=6 F#=7 If you find a G anywhere and play those notes, you'll notice this pattern: Start at G, whole-step to A, whole-step B, half-step to C, whole-step to D, whole-step to E, whole-step to F#. The pattern repeats starting right after F# with G again, and you can run the pattern backwards until you run out of strings. If you ditch #4 and #7 you have the pentatonic scale. #6 of a major key is the note of the corresponding minor key, in this case E, so those same notes are E minor pentatonic. This is all the information needed to derive the E minor pentatonic scale up and down the fretboard. This directly extrapolates to the scales for the other notes. -Mike |

Remember that old school book Hooked on Phonics?
I think if someone wrote a book Hooked on Pentatonics could make a million. Keep me in mind when your book goes platinum J |

Is this any use?
Code:
E minor pentatonic scales R = root note R O O O O R ╒═╤═╤═╤═╤═╕ First position │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ O R O │ │ 1st finger for second position ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ O │ │•│ O O ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ │ │ O │ │ 1st finger for third position ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ O O O•│ R O ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ O R O•O │ O 1st finger for fourth position ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ │ │ │ O │ ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ │ O•R │ │ 1st finger for Fifth position ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ O O │ │ O O ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ R O•O O•O R ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ Play two notes per string for each position |

If you have an IPad the Guitar Toolkit app will do that. It will display most any scale in any key and will either show note names or intervals. Its a handy tool to help you get to the point where you can visualize them yourself.
