MINOR SCALE
Minor scales also use WHOLE and HALF step intervals to make a scale.
The HALF steps (or semitones) are after the 2nd note and 5th notes (rather than the 3rd and 7th).
MINOR SCALE
Like the MAJOR SCALE, there are multiple shapes (and interval patterns) of MINOR SCALES.
This pattern starts on the A string. Practice this one back and forth!
E MAJOR
