Melodic Harmonic And Natural Minor Tetrachords0 out of 5 based on 0 voters. I suggest you look at my lesson on Major Tetrachords before you read. I will allude to it and expect you to have. Also note that I use fingering blueprints, read them from left to right, bottom to top, as if each space was a any fret you want! There are actually three types of minor scales: natural, harmonic, and melodic. A tetrachord is half a octave scale and therefore four notes(though there are only three spaces between the four) To play each you must start with a minor tetrachord. A minor tetrachord follows the pattern: This can be played in the forms (1234), (1342), and (3412). Each number standing for the finger you use 1 being your index finger and 4 being the pinky. They are shown below (this is a fingering blueprint, not tabs): Now comes the part that may make it hard. To make a minor scale you can any of the following tetrachords: Major, Gypsy, & Phrygian. We’ll start with the major, a review for those who read Major Tetrachords. Major tetra chords follow the pattern: There are three major tetrachord patterns: (1334), (2412), & (4134) Add this to the minor tetrachord to get a one-octave minor scale. Then there are the gypsy and Phrygian tetrachord. Don’t ask where the names come from, because I don’t know. The gypsy is weird but the Phrygian is easy: The Gypsy has one easy fingering pattern while the Phrygian has two fingering patterns: Ok let’s put those together to get a minor scale! Play a minor tetrachord skip a whole step them play a major, gypsy, or Phrygian and whalah you have a melodic, harmonic, or natural minor scale! Note I will use (3413) for Phrygian, (2412) for major scales and (3412) for minor! Now I know that maybe confusing so I will put the G natural, melodic, and harmonic minor scales into tabs! As you can see in tabs there are only small differences between each type. They also all start and end on G. I hope those who read this will get something from it. It maybe confusing, but if you haven’t read Major Tetrachords, you should. It will make this easier to understand. |
