Guitar Theory Simplified - The Natural Minor Scale

Understanding the Natural Minor Scale on Guitar
In this lesson from the Guitar Theory Simplified series, we explore the natural minor scale, an essential tool for creating darker, more emotional music. The natural minor scale is used in countless genres, from rock to classical.

What Is the Natural Minor Scale?
The natural minor scale is derived from the major scale but has a different step pattern. We’ll show you how to play it across the fretboard and explain its role in building minor chords and progressions.
