Now for minor pentatonic and arpeggios. To review the formula:

Pick a key. 

Play lowest playable octave shape.

Play the chord.

Play the arpeggio.

Play the pentatonic scale. 

Increase all the way up the neck to achieve all 5 patterns. 

Play a vamp from the jam tracks, or make your own vamp with a loop, and practice improvising over a 1 chord vamp going through all 5 of the patterns. 

After that, try a minor 1 4 5 progression.  Listen and visualize the changes in the chord tones, and the overlap of the pentatonic scales. 

Again - try to find that single note difference that connects your chord tones. This is how good melody lines are built.  Find the notes that overlap and are shared.

Next, try a 1625 :)

Jam Tracks:

1.  A minor vamp

2.  E minor 1 4 5

3.  C 1 6 2 5
