F Minor Scale for Piano Improvisation in A Flat (Ab)

Video Transcript

" Now we are going to introduce our relative minor which is F minor. Now F minor actually comes out of E flat major scale, but right now we're going to still use the A flat major scale and still find the black chord for F minor. So if we start on F which is our six. The relative minor always starts on the six. So we have one, two, three, four, five, six and this becomes our new root F right? Our new scale is one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. So if we outline one, three, five, and seven we get this. It's a little muddy down there one, three, five, seven, right? See how nice that sounds? And again if it was at an E flat major we would have a D here, but we're not even playing that note. Instead of D flat it would be a D so it doesn't really matter. Don't even worry about it. As you get more advanced, you'll have a better understanding of this. So now that we have our six minor down we can play our one, six, two, five turnaround where we go one major, six minor, two, five, one, six, two, five. I'm just hitting the root chord, root chord, root chord, root chord, one chord, six chord, two chord, five chord, one, six, two, and five. That's your one, six, two, five turnaround and we're going to utilize our first four chords that we just learned in our first song in just a minute."
