I'm not sure which scales that you mean, but here are the major and minor 
pentatonic scales with the flat 5 added to the minor pentatonic for a blues 
scale (12 positions). http://members.cox.net/dmurray777/pentpos.shtml

A little different way of looking at it, this also shows the I-IV-V chords 
(click the position for the details).
