Major Pentatonic

It´s structure is R 2 3 5 6. If we are in C, then the C Major Pentatonic Scale will contain the following notes. C D E G A.

Ok, ok but... How do I play it? We are gonna learn it in 5 different positions or boxes, same scale distributed along the fretboard. For each box we are gonna have a "Reference Chord" , a chord that is linked to that specific box.

Box 1

Reference Chord C

The reference chord goes together with the box, each box covers a different area of the fretboard, it is still the same scale, the same 5 notes, crazy, right?
