pentatonic diagram that goes past 12

Re: pentatonic diagram that goes past 12

DIY

Just write it out on a diagram, and then transfer what's on the first few frets to the 12+ area.

Or, look to the position markers while you're playing...look to see where they are for the lower octave, and then go to the same positions in the upper.

After you're done, you can post it here, and the next google search will bring up your chart.

I have one ripped out of a guitar mag at home from a satriani article, but that don't help ya much.

Shouldn't the pattern be the same regardless of where you are on the neck, fretwise?

Yeh but there is multiple pentatonic patterns as well (where a different note in the scale is the root note) but that aside just start again after the 12th fret the 12th is the same as the open.

Kind of, but the way each key stretches out on the neck is different...some keys have open strings you wouldn't use in others...still, the basic shapes for most keys are linear...do the same lick up one fret higher on the neck and you're in the next higher key.

Best way for your future playing carreer is to transpose them yourself and get to know the board better.
Just learning from diags will not increase your understanding and relationship with board.

^ This. Everything repeats 12 frets up, so duplicate the patterns from the open positions (the nut becomes the 12th fret, 1st fret becomes the 13th fret, etc.)

It is much better to work this out for yourself than simply following the dots on a grid. It takes longer but you will understand what you are doing and why and it will encourage you to think about what you're playing up past the 12th fret, which has to be a good thing, surely?
