Would be cool to see a video about playing the classic blues-box minor pentatonic shape at different positions, within the same key. For instance, using your F#minor drone, playing the G#minor pentatonic at Fret 4 to give a dorianish flavour, or the C#minor penatonic at Fret 9 to accentuate the 2nd. And similar tricks in major keys, for example to give a lydian flavour.

All in all, just slipping up a fret each time and using the same shape, especially if you're playing your sort of twisty turns, sounds very cool.
But yep, you'd need to mention modes!

Dachshund mad here .
Are all yours standards ?
(Doesn't mean it sounds any good like).
Exactly what I was referring to! Thanks - will look up the interview. He does it on his Shapes album. (he probably does it a lot but I only know the one album - reminds me to check out more)
And you can go further - so in E major for example, as well as playing the minor pentatonics on F# minor, G# minor and C# minor, like you say, and all of which are within the harmony of E major, you can also play B minor penta, which converts the E major into E mixolydian, or D# minor penta, which converts the E major into E Lydian.
And stuff like that. Excellent - cheers!
