Great stuff.  I only have one question?  Could you end in an A chord instead of an E?

Nice pentatonic scale  practice.  To use this in the A scale, start at the fifth fret where the root note is and repeat the scale. 
String
 E – Fret 5 then 8
 A – Fret 5 then 7
 D – Fret 5 then 7
G – Fret 5 then 7
B – Fret 5 then 8
E Fret 5 then 8

the notes you are playing make the minor A scale 1 b3 4 5 7 or the notes are A, C, D, E, G

For E it’s E, G, A, B, D which equals 1, b3, 4, 5, 7 – it works everywhere!!
