Video Transcript

"To play a B-flat Aeolian Scale, place your forefinger on the 6th fret of the bottom string. We're going to play it from the bottom, ascending two octaves. Now keep in mind that B-flat Aeolian is actually the exact same scale as D-flat major, but instead of tonicizing the D-flat in D-flat major, you're tonicizing the 6th scale degree, which is B-flat. Your scale should sound like this. Again, a little more slowly. Now ascending and descending."
