Hi John,
That’s a good idea. I will also do a one-octave lesson with the natural minor scale sometime.
If you want to play the major pentatonic scale just leave out the 4th and the 7th note of all the patterns in these series and you’ll end up with the major pentatonic.
If you want to play minor pentatonic you have to play 1 – b3 – 4 -5 – b7 notes of the major scale and you’ll end up with the minor pentatonic and you can apply that to all the patterns of these series as well.

I hope that makes sense.
Best,
Klaus Crow

Klaus I really enjoyed your series of lessons on the major scale octave patterns. It really expanded the fretboard! I wondered if you had or were planning something similar for the Minor scales? ! Or I was wondering if I can apply the pentatonic trick( I hate that use of the word) and start with the note opposite of the major root. As you might have guessed, I have not put a lot of thought into this myself and hope you do not think I am “dumping” on you.:-)

This lesson is by far the best and easiest part of the series. Thanks for all the good work.
