Moving shapes
You might be wondering why the last box was a A minor pentatonic. It's because the root notes (the purple dots) of the scale was on an A. Below you can see how to play this shape in all the other shapes, simply by moving it up and down the fretboard. Pretty cool, right?
Try playing the shape in a few other positions to see how it works.
