I think i know all the basic blues pentatonic inversions all the way up the neck and then it repeats 12 frets later, but what about finding the inversions of different types of scales. Do you just have to sit down and figure them out? And they're just repeats of the same scale but starting at a later tone arent they? (and by tone i mean scale tone, for example from what im talking about when i say second inversion of A major scale i mean the scale which starts at B on the low e string, B being the second scale tone of the A major scale)
Also im not sure if my terminology is correct here, im relatively green on a lot of this theory.
Am i totally confused
If you're talking about quot;modes,quot; then yes you're on the right track. The modes of a particular key are simply the same scale beginning and ending on different notes. However, they tend to lend different flavors because they emphasize certain scale tones against the chordal structure in the background. I am in no way an expert on this, as I pretty much hang in the Ionian (major), Aeloian (minor) and Dorian (Carlos Santana) modes.

So are there different modes depending on what kind of key you're in...like if you are playing in a major key then the modes are just as most people know them. Ie. dorian aeolian etc because they start and end on different tones of the major scale. But is there a such thing as modes for different kinds of keys...ie for a minor key where the modes are based around a root minor scale rather than a major one.
