pentatonic mastery can be yours!

Chapter 1: THE MINOR PENTATONIC MODES

In this first chapter of The Auer Method you will learn the 5 modes

of the minor pentatonic scale.

You should learn and master each mode one at a time before moving onto the next.

Mode 1

Note: Mode 2 starts with a flat 3rd note b3 which is the 2nd note of Mode 1 and that the

entire upper half of Mode 2 is the same as the lower half of Mode 1.

This is how the modes connect from octave to octave.

Notice this connection with all the modes.

Start on the R to hear the tonic of each mode.

starts on the

3rd fret

starts on the

6th fret

starts on the

8th fret

starts on the

10th fret

starts on the

13th fret

Then Mode 1

repeats on the octave

of G which is the

15th fret

This should help clear up any confusion on how the modes

connect up the neck from octave to octave
