In comparison to a major scale a minor scale will sound sadder, more depressing. I would love to explain the theory behind this to you! Would you please email me at musictheory1@hotmail.com. Can't wait to hear from you!
A melodic minor scale is a minor scale where the sixth and seventh are raised by a half step as the scale ascends; however, the melodic minor scale is played exactly the same as a natural minor scale as it descends.
harmonic minor
Swithching from major to minor will always sound strange... i always think of major as 'happy' and minor as "sad" ...... i wish I could help you more but switching will always sound odd when being played one after the other ******* new answer: look up modulation! maybe you could use just a few patterns from the Aeolien scale but keep the happy stuff too from the major scale!
A, C and E.
well the minor scale was unfortunait used to be b flat then it was changed to e flat.
Pbrbrbrbrbrbrt.
The harmonic minor scale is a minor scale with a major 7th (1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7). This creates a 3 half-step gap between the minor 6th and major 7th, resulting in a dark, exotic sound.
A Minor and a Major chords.
The difference is in the 3rd key on the scale. that 3rd gives a happier sound to the major scale.
E minor harmonic scale looks like this : E F# G A B C D# E The major scale for E minor is G major.
The minor scale is different from a major scale because the third, sixth, and seventh are one half step lower than a major scale. For example, a C major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B; a C minor scale is C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb. The Eb, Ab, and Bb are one half step lower, which gives the minor scale its distinct sound.
It is true that Romanticism is a style of music that is characterized by a dramatic use of the major and minor scale systems, creating a pleasing and harmonic sound.
Use either the minor pentatonic scale (don't use the b5/#4) or play a dominant scale over the key signature (which is like a major scale with a b7). If it's a minor funk chart then use either the minor penatonic scale or the dorian minor, which is like natural minor with a #6 (or a major scale with a b3 and b7)
To determine what the seventh note (leading note) is in a minor scale, you need to determine which minor scale you are playing. The seventh note of a natural minor scale, you take the note which is a whole tone (2 notes) below your tonic (the note which is the name of your scale). Example: In A natural minor scale the leading note is G. The seventh note of a harmonic minor scale is a semitone (1 note) below your tonic note. Ex: In E harmonic minor scale, the leading note is D sharp. The seventh note of a melodic minor scale (ascending) will be a semitone below your tonic note, like your harmonic minor scale. Descending the melodic minor scale reverts to its natural state, therefore your seventh note will be a whole tone below your tonic.
A melodic minor scale is a minor scale where the sixth and seventh are raised by a half step as the scale ascends; however, the melodic minor scale is played exactly the same as a natural minor scale as it descends.
Simply a minor scale
The difference between a melodic minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that in a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh scale degrees are raised on the way up, and on the way down they are the same as they would be in natural minor. In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.
