The Third Mode
The Third Position of the Major Pentatonic Scale

Continuing in the key of G major we will now play the third position or mode of the G major pentatonic scale. The third note in the scale of G major pentatonic is B, so we will begin this third mode on the B at the 6th string, 7th fret. Notice how it directly ties to the second position we played earlier. Remember to learn these in order, so if you landed on this page first after searching the web, go up to the menu and find the first mode and begin there.
