RELATIVE MINORS Tabbed by Frankie H. When you play a G Minor Pentatonic Scale... e|--------------------------------3--6--3----------------------------------------| B|--------------------------3--6-----------6--3----------------------------------| G|--------------------3--5-----------------------5--3----------------------------| D|--------------3--5-----------------------------------5--3----------------------| A|--------3--5-----------------------------------------------5--3----------------| E|--3--6-----------------------------------------------------------6--3----------| you therefore are also playing a Bb Major Pentatonic Scale. This is because these two keys have the same notes and the same number of #s or bs. This applies to all relative major and minor scales, like C and Am, F and Dm, etc. Enjoy
