"Hi, my name is Dalton, and we’re gonna be finding the notes in a C minor scale. What we want to do first is find our C note, our root note, which is right here (3rd fret A string.) The second note is a whole step which is a D right here (5th fret D string.) The next step is a half step which will take us to the D# (6th fret D string.) The next step is another whole step which will take us to an F (3rd fret D string.) The next step is another whole step, which will take us to a G (5th fret D string.) The next step is another half step which will take us to a G# (6th fret D string.) The next step is another whole step, which will take us to an A# (3rd fret G string.) When we have all those down we can play the scale just like that. "
