Скачать или смотреть Generic Minor: Four important minor scales

In traditional teaching, three minor scales are stressed: the first is natural minor, which is a mode, also called Aeolian.

The second is often called melodic minor. The same scale is called jazz minor by jazz musicians. I prefer this name.

The third is called harmonic minor.

The fourth minor scale is called Dorian. Jazz musicians stress Dorian, but this minor scale is used by everyone.

That makes four important, basic minor scales. Let's put them all together and call this "The Generic Minor Scale Model". In this model the first five notes never change. They are set in stone. Only the sixth and seventh degrees move up and down. They move from low to high. Or from high to low.
