Minor Scale

Minor scales seem complicated. They are not.

There are three different minor scales:

- The natural minor scale.

- The harmonic minor scale.

- The Melodic minor scale.

For the natural minor scale, I have already covered it in book one. It is the same as the major scale but the root note is 3 frets back.

so the natural minor scale for A is : A B C D E F G A

The harmonic minor scale is the same as the natural minor but the 7th note is sharpened.

So the harmonic minor scale for A is : A B C D E F G# A

The melodic minor scale is the same as the harmonic minor but with the 6th note sharpened.

So the melodic minor scale for A is : A B C D E F# G# A
