Regarding playing the G minor Pentatonic scale, more specifically  - the low end ' G ' note...

Is there any advantage / disadavantage to playing the the low end ' G '

note on the 2 draw or the 3 blow  ?  Pros/cons of either choice ?

what do you prefer ?

                   Thank you for your itme

Hello Steven. I think you

Hello Steven. I think you meant the G Blues Scale for LOA-L6. In this case, yes, 2 draw is preferred. Since the 2" and 3' are right next to it, it's preferred to stay on a draw in preparation for those.
