I came here wondering the same exact thing. Did you ever find an answer?
An important thing to note here is that he's really just playing the same two scales all over the neck. This lesson is meant for you to understand where you can find the pentatonic scales on the neck and help you realize you can combine two different ones.

Another thing to realize is that a scale is defined by the notes you play not where you play them so whether you do C shape or D-shape does not change the scale. They hold exactly the same notes.

Teacher!! You said that we are going to start by playing d minor pentatonic upwards...
Why did you start the minor pentatonic at 3rd fret in a C-shape (C major) instead of a D-shape (F major)
Papa Gates is actually playing a D minor pentatonic scale (D shape for Dm), however, the tab + score read an Am (C shape) pentatonic going up. Play it, listen to it, and don't focus on the tab.

    Hey there, sorry about this issue! We've been looking into this on our end and are having trouble replicating the problem. Would you be able to PM me a screen recording of what you see when you try to mark the lesson complete? That might help me track down the issue faster :)
