Learn the Pentatonic Scale for Violin :: Tutorial G minor Bb major pentatonic

Uploaded April 2018 | Updated September 2026, 1 day 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 G minor and Bb major pentatonic. These are basically the same notes which are:

G Bb C D F G for Gm pentatonic
Bb C D F G Bb for Bb 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)
