Look below for scale diagrams that show the minor pentatonic scale along the fretboard. The notes are displayed over the actual frets so players can easily visualize them like they will actually be played with a slide, compared to using the fingers to fret notes in between the frets. These are for standard guitar tuning, enjoy!
