Additional Comments by ActiveBass members: Lukas Hamacek writes - "Is it a mistake? I "G Minor, Scale position", there ar "-" in front of 3, 6, 7. Is it OK?
And what about these scale "harmonic" with 7# and "melodic" with 6#+7#? These will be sometimes in the future?"
Clifton Jackson's replies - "I see what you are asking here! The -- are just to let you know that these Notes are Flat, in relation to the Major scale Notes!! If they were to be sharp, I would have put a + in front of it. This is different kind of Notation for the Scale Position."
Lukas Hamacek's replies - "Hehehe Clifton,
my telepathy abilities suddenly felt below zero. I couldn't find a relation between these two scales..... I thought, that in minor scales are 6. and 7. degree sharped when you go up, and totaly unsharped when you go down. Am I right?"
Helgi Briem's replies - "Yes, you are right.
Major scale 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Natural minor scale 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 8
Harmonic minor scale 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 8
Melodic minor scale (classical)1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 8 b7 b6 5 4 b3 2 1
Melodic minor scale (jazz)1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 8
Note that in practice, most minor key compositions use an amalgam of the three minor scales and even a touch of Dorian or Phrygian here and there.
This applies especially to the chords used.
For example, even though a song may be in A harmonic minor for the most part, it is rare to use the C aug chord in place of the C major as a strict interpretation of the scale would call for."
Clifton Jakson replies to Lukas - "Ah!! Yes you are right and I am Right as well!! You see, I'm not going down...I'm just listing the minor scale here.
The 3rd 6th & 7th of the minor scale are flat Notes...That's why I listed the -- in front of the Scale Position number, letting you know that they are Flat Notes, Yes, if you were to go back down they would be Sharped Notes!
You see the 3rd, 6th & 7th Notes of the minor sclae in relation to the Major scale are Flat Notes...Let's work with one the F# in the Major will be a Flat Note in the minor scale, which will be an F! Take a look!"
