Brad divides the scale into low and high sections. On the 5th
position A minor pentatonic, the notes on the 5th fret are the low
section and the notes on the 7th and 8th frets are the high section.
We normally play it low high low high ascending and high low high
low descending. The patterns are derived from juggling this concept
of low-high. This low-high principle can be applied to any two note
per string scale or arpeggio.
