Major, minor and pentatonic scales

4m

Major scale is the same thing as your diatonic Scale. You should learn to practice this on all keys so as to gain mastery and flexibility. Minor scales are scales that contain the b3 [flat 3rd], #5 [Sharp 5] and the b7 [Flat Seventh]. And then pentatonic scales have only 5 notes, It's one of the most popular scales on the keys. Practice it on the key of C and as well as other keys.

    Good evening sir you didn't mention the different hand numbers like you did for Diatonic scale

    minor scale

    Isn't the natural minor scale supposed to be b3, b6, and b7 instead of b3, #5 and b7 like you've described it in the video? You said sharp 5, but that #5 is when you're having an augmented chord. Isn't that incorrect to say sharp 5 because you're turning a major scale into a natural minor (from either direction on the keys)?
