Poparad Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 A natural minor:A B C D E F G A A harmonic minor:A B C D E F G# A A melodic minor:A B C D E F# G# A Take A natural minor and raise the 7th a half step and you have A harmonic minor. Raise the 6th a half step as well and you have A melodic minor. Another way of looking at melodic minor: C major:C D E F G A B C C melodic minor:C D Eb F G A B C
Members bdemon Posted June 24, 2004 Members Posted June 24, 2004 I also like to look at each scale as numbers. Natural Minor: 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 1 Harmonic Minor: 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 1 Melodic Minor: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 1 (ascending) 1 b7 b6 5 4 b3 2 1(decending, if memory serves)

It's not relevant for anything in the last 100 years. It's definitely a source of confusion for younger players though. For jazz, fusion or pop music you don't need to worry about it though.
