Learn the Pentatonic Scale for Violin :: Tutorial B minor D major pentatonic

Uploaded April 2018 | Updated September 2026, 23 hours ago

Third in a series of pentatonic scale tutorials. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to practising scales so I thought this would be a good way to force myself to do it and to help out those who wanted to learn too. Let's learn the pentatonic scales together!

The scales here are B minor and D major pentatonic. These are basically the same notes which are:

B D E F# A for Bm pentatonic
D E F# A B for D major pentatonic

I have a backing track video for practising these scales here:

You can also download the track from my Bandcamp account for free (although donations are possible, wink wink ;-)

(I'm going to create an album with all keys so this may not be ready immediately)
