Bm scale lesson YouTube
Hey there, I�m Tomas Michaud from Real Guitar School and TomasMichaud.com. I hope you�re
here today because you wanna learn the B minor scale. If you do, you�re in the right place.
Not only am I gonna teach you the B minor scale but I�m gonna show you a fun way to
practice it and a way to use it to start improvising in a little Spanish flare.
So let�s get started, the B minor scale, were gonna do a fairly simple version one
today, it�s not the only one I use but it�s a good one to start with. Let me show you
what it sounds like (strumming) and I�m gonna stop there so go ahead and get your
fingers ready on the second fret fifth string, here we go- now third finger, fourth fret
and the fifth fret with the pinky. Go on over to the fourth string, first finger, third
finger and pinky now were on the third finger with the first finger and the third finger
on the fourth fret onto the second string, first finger second fret, second finger that�s
the third fret and then the fifth fret with the pinky and finish up on the first string,
third fret second finger and pinky.
Now let�s go down, pinky, third fret, first string, second fret, going on second string,
third fret, down to the second fret, third finger on the third string fourth fret, second
fret now go over to the fourth string fifth fret, third finger, first finger and finally
the fifth string, third finger and then on the first finger. So do that one more time
with me. I�m not gonna call it out this time, nice and slow. Start with the first
finger second fret fifth string, ready go. (strumming) now going down.
Okay now for a fun way to practice this. One way to practice this is, after you got the
hang of fingering it is to play it along with the backing track. I�m gonna show you what
it sounds like with the backing track in the key of B minor � ready go, 1, 2, 3, 4 � so
when you�re ready, you can try doubling that speed
and then try improvising along with that so I�m just gonna start picking some notes.
Hey, it�s okay to stretch a little. Try adding some notes. Watch this.
