In this video I'm going to show you how to play the major pentatonic for position number two. This is how you play G major pentatonic position. The first thing you want to do is you want to locate where the root is. So the root is either going to be on the fourth string or the second string. Me personally how I find position number two quickly, if it's going to be G major position to have to play, then I think a word G is on the sixth string. Then I go up two frets and over two frets, and this is G just up one octave.
You don't have to if you know the notes on the D string really well, you can just go straight to the note, but that's how I do it. I use kind of like this little octave trick. I find this G i go up two frets and over two strings, and that's where g is one octave Higher. So that that that tells me where I'm going to start my pattern. So I'm going to start here on this G and go 12356123. Coming back 321653216532 going back up to 3561.
For this pattern, a lot of people they want to start down here on two. I suggest that you always start on the root. That way, you're kind of always starting and stopping on one so you can hear the pattern. So I think it's okay to practice. And then you get down to the root down here, at least it finishes the pattern. So let me go ahead and go over that one more time because 12356123 Three to 1-653-216-5322 3561 and that was G major pentatonic position number two.
This is how you would play B major pentatonic position number two. First thing you're going to do is you're going to locate where b is on the sixth string, which is the sixth string, seventh fret. Then just go up two frets and over two strings. You will find this B here on the D string. And then you're gonna play your pattern is going to go 1-235-612-3321 653-216-5322 3561 One more time 1-235-612-3321 653 216-532-3561 and that is how you play a B major pentatonic position number two. Alright, this is how you're going to play a major pentatonic position number two, we're going to start with his, this E right here.
That's going to go 1-235-612-3321 653 216-532-2356 One more time 1-235-612-3321 653-216-5322 3561 and that's how you play the pentatonic scale for position number two
