The minor pentatonic scale is built from the intervals root (1), minor third (m3), fourth (4), fifth (5) and minor seventh (b7). Starting with each of these steps, a new fingering is formed, resulting in five different patterns. To play such a pattern in a key other than A minor, it must be moved according to the transposing table.
