Lesson Three (posted 8/29/05)
The third of the five patterns of the G Natural Minor scale is pictured below. We are also including the first two patterns here so you can see how all three fit together organically. As in the previous two lessons, the first diagram shows the scale intervals of each note:

In the second diagram, we can see the note names for each degree of the scale: The G minor scale, showing note names

Homework
Play pattern three up and down until it becomes familiar to you. After you are familiar with pattern three, try finding runs that begin in one pattern and end in the other. Become familiar with shifting between the three patterns so that it becomes second nature to you.
