See footnote below for explanation of tablature
R denotes root
"N-M pattern" denotes finger placement and string location of the scale pattern *relative to the major root* where "N" is the finger number, and "M" is the string number. (6-1 pattern means 6th string, 1st finger pattern). Unlike the diatonic scales, the fingerings of pentatonics allow for more experimentation. For instance, in most cases, the third finger can substitute the fourth.
