Minor scales

When you start and end a major scale on the sixth note you get a natural minor scale...
As an example, play a C major scale CDEFGABC and move up to the 6 sixth note or down two notes to A
Now play the same eight notes ABCDEFGA and you get an A minor scale.
i.e.
C major same notes as A minor
C sharp major same notes as A sharp minor
cont…..

...As you remember from Chapter 3, a minor scale is based on the same notes as a major scale, but starts on the sixth note of that scale...the key of A minor used the same notes as C major.
i.e.
A minor same notes as C major
A sharp minor same notes as C sharp major
B flat minor same notes as D flat major
B minor sdame notes as D major
cont…

end of quote.
