Music Theory - The Three Flavors Of Minor Music Scales

The video tutorial covers the three types of minor scales: natural, harmonic, and melodic. It explains scale degrees and how natural minor scales relate to their relative major keys. Examples of G and B natural minor scales are provided. The harmonic minor scale is discussed, highlighting its raised seventh degree and its melodic implications. The melodic minor scale is explained with its ascending and descending characteristics. The video also differentiates between parallel and relative scales, concluding with a call to action for viewers to engage with the channel.
