keep playing....dont stop.

this.

and always keep in mind the amount of steps both the major and minor scale takes. for example..

this is the minor scale...

whole note - half note - whole note - whole note - half note - whole note - whole note

and this is the major scale...

whole note - whole note - half note - whole note - whole note - whole note - half note


so for example...you want to learn the A minor...determine the A note on the guitar fret...that will be your root note. After, just use the formula to determine the other notes in the A minor scale...

cheers

maybe split them into modes?

There are only 5 box patterns for pentatonics no? One of the easiest scales on the guitar. Wait till you try diatonic scales. No nice box patterns and sometimes it stretches over 5 frets, whereas pentatonics every pattern except one is within 4 frets.
