First off, learn to use google... it's VERY fucking easy. I got an answer in 4 seconds.

Secondly, http://www.guitarconsultant.com/pentatonic.html.

THIRDLY, use the same "1-4, 1-3, 1-3, 1-3, 1-4, 1-4" fret difference and move it up
to frets and you'll have a B pentatonic scale.

If you learn where a pentatonic scale comes from it will be much easier,
as there are tons of different pentatonic scales.
For example, a normal C Major Scale would be :

C - D - E - F -G - B - A
I - ii - iii - IV - V - vi - vii

Now, a major pentatonic scale is where you only play the first,
second, third, fifth, and sixth notes on the scale, so a major pentatonic
scale would be :

C - D - E - G - B
I - ii - iii - V - vi

The same idea would be applied with a minor pentatonic,
except you would normally use the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth
and the Seventh in a minor pentatonic scale.

Although pentatonic is really a dry term, because any scale where
you play only 5 different tones would be considered pentatonic,
its really your choice on what sort of tonality you want to grasp
with a pentatonic scale.

Yea, thats a minor pentatonic, and wherever you place the root is what key the scale will be in.

Learn the major and minor pentatonic in every key over the entire fingerboard. Pay particular attention to the difference in sound between the two scales.
The major pentatonic has a sweet, almost country flavor to it. The minor pentatonic has a darker, more blues sound to it.
Knowing this difference in sound will help you to match your playing to the flavor of the chord progression.
