Secrets of the Major scale

Remember how i said that the pentatonic scale is fused within the major scale well heres that lesson for you. To stay consistent we will be using the G major scale and the E pentatonic scale like in the last lessons. Now stay with me and don't over think this one. The E pentatonic scale is inside of G Major. where you might ask well remember the 6th position of the G major scale shown below?




               6th position
G------------------------------------------------12--14--16--
D---------------------------------12--14--16-----------------
A------------------12--14--15--------------------------------
E---12--14--15-----------------------------------------------

well at 6th position of the G major scale the E pentatonic scale lies here below


     E pentatonic 1st position
G--------------------------------12--14-----           
D-----------------------12--14--------------
A-------------12--14------------------------
E---12--15----------------------------------

make sure you realize the similar notes in each scale and truly see why they are connected. and don't worry it might take a while before it sinks in but keep studying 
above and below this text are the same exact scale just an octave apart which just means the same note but at a higher pitch


     E pentatonic 1st position
G------------------------0--2-------------           
D-----------------0--2--------------------
A----------0--2---------------------------
E---0--3----------------------------------

so keep practicing everyone and try your best to fuse the two scales together
