Even though I "know" this it helps cement it in the mind. Learning the same thing in many different ways helps become familiar with it.
I also, agree with @aord43. I like to look at things from different directions and see patterns and connections between things. Sometimes a shift in perspective can open up new ideas.
I don't have a problem with the video lesson posted originally. It's just one of many ways of looking at things.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

Sorry if explanation is confusing, but it's easier if you try it.
- Play your A minor blues backing track
- Solo using your 5th fret shape A minor penta but do it as if the A was on the 12th fret instead of 5th, i.e. move the shape up 7 frets. It works, but is slightly outside of bog standard A penta (you now are playing the B note).
- Do as above but using the 10th fret as if it was the A, moving up 5 frets, same shape as usual. Now you're even more outside, but still within the world of A minor diatonic scale, as you bring in the F which can sound a bit unusual in this genre.
- As you learn more pentatonic shapes, feel free to mix them in your solo as long as you bear in mind where all the minor triads are for your scale. For A you have D and E, for D blues you have G and A, etc.
As you get more confident, feel free to mix and match these in a solo, perhaps even in the same musical phrase! If you stack them on top of each other in the same position, you'll end up with a lot of options without even moving your arm around the neck!
