One-page guitar charts you can print, hang by your amp or hand to students. Each pentatonic chart shows all 5 boxes for one key on the whole neck, each box on its own with note names, and a 7-day practice plan. There are charts for all 12 minor and 12 major keys, plus every note on the fretboard and the CAGED system. Free, no signup.
Start with Box 1 of your key: play it low to high and back, two notes per string, and say each note name as you go. The dark squares are the roots, your home base. Then add Box 2 and find the notes where the colors meet; those shared notes connect the boxes. New to the boxes? Read how to use pentatonic boxes, or watch the 2-minute lesson there.

The key's five notes and intervals, all 5 boxes on the whole neck in color, each box on its own with note names, three practice tips and a 7-day practice plan.
The box shapes are the same; the root moves. A minor and C major use exactly the same five shapes, so the charts show where the root sits for each key.
