    about harmonic minor scale

    From the natural minor scale, the harmonic minor scale is created by raising the 7th degree by a half step (semitone). That 7th degree becomes a leading-tone instead of a subtonic. It has a rather exotic sound, created by the gap between the 6th and 7th degrees. As its name implies, this scale works especially well for harmonies.

    about melodic minor scale

    The melodic minor scale is at times used with different notes up versus down the scale, but it can be played with the same notes up and down. The melodic minor is created by raising both the 6th and 7th degrees by a half step. The alternative way of coming down the scale is using the natural minor scale down. Here the example uses the same notes up and down the scale.


    Minor scale formula

    šŸ”§ The minor scales are constructed using these note patterns:

    • Natural Minor: W-H-W-W-H-W-W
    • Harmonic Minor: W-H-W-W-H-A2-H
    • Melodic Minor: W-H-W-W-W-W-H
    ◈◈◈

    W = Whole step   H = Half step   A2 = Whole step + half step
