Firstly, lets think about your major cghords. All major chord consist of the first (root) third and fifth notes of the major scale from which they come. so, for c major for eg, C E and G. you chords will all contain 1st 3rd and 5th notes somwhere. so, to make them minor, simply lower the third by a semitone, ie one fret, and hey presto, a minor chord.

∙ 14y agoRather than learning all the scales by rote which will mean nothing, study the circle of fifths and try to under stand what is going on there. See how you move clockwise and add a sharp at a time or move counter-clock wise and add a flat at a time.
Learn what a perfect fifth is when you move clockwise and what a perfect fourth is when move counter clockwise. Learn how many half steps are in each interval. Understand the relationship between a major key and it's relative minor.
If you do that, you will not have to memorize or keep a scale chart around to look at. It's like the old saying. "I'd rather teach a man how to fish rather than giving him a fish".
