@OmnipotentO The root is the main note of the key you are playing. In this case it’s the A note, and when you are playing the major pentatonics along the neck you should end them with the root the A note.

@JipaPwneD the root is the main tone. in this case of the video the root is the A note. You should end your solos in the root, while you are playing the major pentatonics in the key of A.

is it true to say that the F# minor pentatonic scale share the same pattern than the A major pentatonic scale ? Of course roots are different but positions are the same ?

@JediArroN All scales follow some pattern of half steps and whole steps which repeat notes at regular intervals without duplicating notes in between. For instance, a scale won’t have the notes A B C B because there’s no A before the second B.

@JediArroN 1ya thats how its used
2 no you cant unfortunately. the scale and npotes are perfectly arranged to fit its root, and sound good in solos, etc. you could ask a musc scinetist and hed go on and on about how the scale was found and why its important, all you need to know is, when you get more experincd, YOULL NEED IT!

@JediArroN NOOB!
no just kidding
1, it is a pattern of notes centered around 5 notes each with its own pattern(which he’s showing us)
2. each pattern involves 2 notes per string and these sets of notes can be used to solo like for example your bud ws playing some A chord stuff, you would chose 1 or several of the patterns that branch off of the A pent. scale and use the notes in each pattern to jam.
*takes a breath*
ah.. answer your question?
