The Natural Minor Scale

Since we've already covered the major scale, I thought it'd be fitting to introduce the natural minor scale which is related to the major scale.

The pattern for the natural minor scale is

W, H, W, W, H, W, W

W=Whole step= tone= 2 frets
H= Half Step= semitone= 1 fret

To find the related natural minor to any major scale then you use the same notes of the major scale but starting from the 6th degree, on the major scale, as the minor scale root

C major scale

1. C
2. D
3. E
4. F
5. G
6. A
7. B
8. C

is related to the Natural A minor scale

1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D
5. E
6. F
7. G
8. A

Try applying this pattern to every key and jam on!
