Now we're going to take a look at A flat, and we're going to actually look at the chart
first. And this will make it a lot easier. Our minor is derived out of the second degree
of the scale, so if we want one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, this is our second,
right, A flat, so A flat minor starts here, utilizes the same scale except now we have
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. And you'll see how it has the same intervals,
right. There's your second, actually it has a minor third, so instead of the third being
here it's here, and it has a minor seven, so instead of the seventh being a fret up
it's right here above it. So we have the same six, there's a fifth, fourth, so we got one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. And again the main difference is you have a minor
third and a minor seventh. And that's how you get your minor scale, so we use the same
pattern and we walk it, right here, so we got one, two, three, or one, two, flat three,
four, five, six, flat seven, one, one. And you can hear how it has that darker quality
to it, as opposed to this...we got this... and it's a little stretch on the fingers, but it's good
exercise, and that's your A flat minor scale, and we'll go through a little bit more on
that in just a minute.
