Before combining them, I remember first learning to solo over the standard blues progression, and my teacher at the time gave me a quick trick for alternating between the minor and major pentatonic solos: While this approach can work to give you a more varied sound beyond merely the minor pentatonic scale, this trick is by no means a hard and fast rule, and moving beyond it to learn to combine both scales makes you a more versatile player.

A quick point of reference to understand about these scales is that, in respect to physical finger positioning, they are identical, with one scale simply falling three frets below the other on the fretboard. That is to say, in any given key: The A on the fifth fret of the first string is the root note of both the A minor pentatonic and A major pentatonic scales. The below tabs illustrate this point. So, first visualize both major and minor pentatonic scales, and practice them up and down the neck, focusing on their first and second positions for the purposes of this lesson. As you will notice, the first position of the A minor pentatonic scale and the second position of the A major pentatonic scale are both within easy reach of the first position of the A minor pentatonic scale index finger beginning on the fifth fret of the first string, and proceeding on from there.
