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.
1. 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”.
