Major/ Natural Minor Scales in the “Circle of 5th” pattern.
- START on any Major Scale.
- Play that scale up and back.
- Walk down four-1/2 steps to find your relative minor.
- Or the 6th note of the major scale.
- THEN walk down two-1/2 steps (a whole step) to find your NEXT MAJOR SCALE.
- Keep practicing this and it will come to you without not much thought – and you will “hear it”.
