The video tutorial explores different types of minor scales in music theory. It begins with the natural minor scale, explaining its interval pattern and how to construct it using G as an example. The harmonic minor scale is then introduced, highlighting the raised seventh degree that creates a leading tone and allows for a major five chord. The melodic minor scale is discussed last, with its unique ascending and descending forms, and the reasons for its use in vocal music. A chart summarizing the differences between these scales is also presented.
