Intermediate Music Theory Lesson – Understanding Minor Scales

In Music Theory | on March, 23, 2010 | by | 13 Comments

In this lesson we will concentrate on a little bookwork to make sure you fully understand how to figure out all of your minor scale types.

This PDF tutorial is going to be a pre-requisite to the video lessons coming up focusing on how to visualize the minor scales on the fretboard using the 3-notes per string format.

Take your time with this study and try to spell all of the minor scales in as many keys as you can. You will need to know your major keys quite fluently to be able to completely follow this tutorial, so if you don’t have that down yet just download the “Understanding Keys” lesson in the music theory lesson archive, and it will get you up to speed quickly. Then you should be fine to follow along with this PDF tutorial on minor scales.

Here is the PDF download.
