Relative Major & Minor Guitar Scales

Video Transcript

"Okay, so now we've learned a major scale and a minor scale. So let's think about this in another terms, okay. We played C major which had all natural notes. Now if we look A minor, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A... all has natural notes as well. So, these two are related. They're relative major and relative minor. So if we actually start our A minor scale you'll notice on the C, eighth fret with our pinky, you actually get the same sound in a different fingering. So, whenever there's three frets down, you'll find your relative minor, major - if it's a major scale you're playing, your relative minor will be three frets below. If it's a minor scale you're playing, your relative major will be three frets above. So, G major has a relative minor at E minor. And E minor's relative major is G major."
