What is the Natural Minor Scale?
The natural minor scale is one of music’s most commonly used scales. Like the major scale, many songs revolve around the notes of the natural minor scale. When this happens we say the music is in a minor key. For example, if a song is said to be in the key of G minor it means the song is built using, and revolves around, the notes of the G natural minor scale. The natural minor scale is a seven-note scale (don’t count the octave). Like the major scale it contains a Root (R), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.
