Dan Leonard: Hi! I'm Dan Leonard and I'm going to continue with talking about minor scales.
There are a couple of other choices for minor scales. I'm going to show you the first fingering of each and then project you can take on yourself is to convert that into all the fingerings, the five fingerings on the fretboard based on the chord forms that Ive mentioned.
So, heres the G Minor chord, and the first other option for a Minor scale is a Dorian scale and that differs from the Melodic minor and that has a flatted seventh, so you are off the root, second, heres the flatted third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and a flatted seventh, and then youre back to the root, continue up the second octave.
So, that's the Dorian scale, and it's also good to be familiar with the natural minor scale which has a flatted sixth as well. So, that has a root, second, flatted third, fourth, fifth, flatted sixth, and a flatted seventh.
That's the fingering for that.
So, once again you want to take those structures and figure out the fingerings for yourself in the different positions.
