Result

This page opens the fingering chart with E Minor pentatonic already selected — the diagram above is live, so you can inspect every position. The notes of the scale: E, G, A, B, D.

The pentatonic drops the half-step tensions of the full scale, leaving five notes that are almost impossible to play wrong — the first improvisation scale for a reason.

Switch the key, scale type or display options in the controls above — the chart redraws instantly and everything runs locally in your browser.

Accepted Formats & Rules

  • Major, three minor forms, pentatonics, and blues
  • One-finger-per-fret or Simandl 1-2-4 system
  • Open position plus positions I-IX on a 4-string neck

Key Benefits

✓ Two real-world fingering systems: one finger per fret and the upright-style Simandl 1-2-4.
✓ Positions that hold the complete scale are marked, so patterns stay self-contained.
✓ Dots switch between finger numbers, note names, and scale degrees.

Use Cases

  • • Building walking lines and need the scale under your hand in one position?
  • • Comparing one-finger-per-fret with Simandl fingering for low-position playing?
  • • Checking where the root sits on the E and A strings before a rehearsal?
