Guitar Scale Charts
Every chart below is generated from a scale interval formula over standard tuning - no hand-drawn patterns. Change the root key and the chart transposes from the same data. Source: Interval formulas cross-checked against muted.io scale formula reference and Jazz Guitar Online / Applied Guitar Theory minor pentatonic lessons, 2026-10-17. Charts are generated from these interval sets over standard tuning, frets 0-12 - not hand-drawn boxes.
Minor Pentatonic (1 b3 4 5 b7)
Green = root note. Full-neck chart (frets 0-12) generated from the interval formula - the familiar boxes are inside this map; start with the lowest root and a small area, not the whole neck at once.
What it is for: The rock/blues soloing workhorse. Start over A minor or A blues progressions.
How to practise: Play slowly up and down, then try short 3-note phrases. Practise with the metronome at a slow tempo. Use the metronome slowly and follow the daily practice routine.
Major Scale (1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
Green = root note. Full-neck chart (frets 0-12) generated from the interval formula - the familiar boxes are inside this map; start with the lowest root and a small area, not the whole neck at once.
What it is for: The parent scale for melodies and chord theory in major keys.
How to practise: Say note names as you play in G. Connect the scale to G, C and D chords you already know. Use the metronome slowly and follow the daily practice routine.
Major Pentatonic (1 2 3 5 6)
Green = root note. Full-neck chart (frets 0-12) generated from the interval formula - the familiar boxes are inside this map; start with the lowest root and a small area, not the whole neck at once.
What it is for: A sweeter, country/pop-friendly soloing sound over major chords.
How to practise: Target the root on chord changes. Compare its sound with minor pentatonic over the same backing. Use the metronome slowly and follow the daily practice routine.
Natural Minor (1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7)
Green = root note. Full-neck chart (frets 0-12) generated from the interval formula - the familiar boxes are inside this map; start with the lowest root and a small area, not the whole neck at once.
What it is for: The full minor sound - minor pentatonic plus the 2 and b6 for more colour.
How to practise: Hear the difference the added notes make against your minor pentatonic phrases. Use the metronome slowly and follow the daily practice routine.
