After you've become familiar with the major scale, it is time to learn the
minor scale. The truth is that within the major scale, we can find the
minor scale 'hiding' and vice versa. Let's look at D major for example,
starting on the fourth string. Go ahead and play it ascending and
descending. Now play the same notes, but start a sixth higher, on B, and
play the B octave. You've just played B minor!
Experiment like this in all the keys, and practice the minor scale as with
the major scale,
getting to know it by heart, and using it to know your instrument better.
Some examples:
Note: The low D in this simple exercise cannot be played using the first Turkish tuning . To reach it the 6th string must be tuned down to D.
