About this tool
This page opens the fingering chart with G Major pentatonic already selected — the diagram above is live, so you can inspect every position. The notes of the scale: G, A, B, D, E.
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.
Example. C major in a one-finger-per-fret position places the scale's pitch classes on frets 0 through 12 of an EADGBE board.
Limit. The diagram stops at fret 12, and position numbers stop at 9.
