Is that a misprint with the second 3 needing to be a 4 or is the 3rd finger used for both? Thanks. In your scales chart the ‘A natural minor scale’ shows a 1 3 3 on the A string.

Those are all pentatonic, because penta means 5 in latin. Learn the patterns in key A or any key and then we can learn how to play any key anywhere!! Same thing with the chords then you can play thousands of songs Not that hard really. Solo, I meant to add this also:

The scales to me are the most important thing. I learned a bit different, I was schooled in scales to nth degree and chord construction. I pretty much play what I hear. I never was taught songs. But I know theory well and can play about anything. Lots, lots and more practice for hours a day for lots of years. I think about an hour a day is minimum. I do read tab, so I would recommend learning to read tab first and them practice the scales in key of A. Learn the essential chords too, get familiar with them and I'll give you a nice easy slow bluesy piece. By the way I'm doing the same thing for another reader too. Blues baby. Thanks for asking, I will deliver, Realistically speaking the starting point is to learn those scales and the essential chords.
