Yo Everyone,

Yes...We are still covering the Circle of 5ths!! I want to make sure everyone understands this. I’m trying to De-Mystify it little by little. Most of you may know this bit of information but, others may not!

I’m a Black Man, from Africa. And Egypt is in Africa. And Egyptians built the Pyramids! I’ll list the minor Circle of 5ths in this Pyramids fashion for less confusion. Great Pun, eh?!

The Circular principle still applies to the minor Scales. As we can see the same number of Sharps and Flats that on in the Major scales, are the same with the minor scales. The Tetra chords in the minor scales work the same way. You can find the 5th & 4th Notes, which determine which Notes are going to be Flat or Sharp (minor scale) in the same way!

Know Your Scales! :^D

Clifton

...Until Bassdom Comes!

Additional Comments by ActiveBass members: Patrick Pfeiffer writes - "Hey Clifton, Cooooool! I find people pay too little attention to the minor tonalities (it's not like they're underage...the "minors" I mean). You can also find the major key (for example "C"), put your pinky on it, and, using the "one finger per fret" method, locate the relative minor key under the index finger (this would be "A"). These two keys share the same number of sharps or flats. The idea here is to keep it "physical" (hands on) so the information becames useful for playing."

Clifton Jackson replies - "Yo Patrick, Thanks for that bit of Enlightening Information. I agree, the minor scale are some times forgoten!" :^D
