*At 06:50 I explain the intervals of the minor pentatonic scale. For the last two notes, I carelessly refer to the notes by their fret numbers, not their intervals. It's been pointed out that this is confusing, for which I apologise.

To clarify, the intervals of the minor pentatonic are; root, minor 3rd, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, dominant 7th, repetition of root at the octave. Fret numbers wise, this is frets 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12.

Apologies!
