KERMITNT Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Hey guys I have a question maybe is silly but please let me unsolved this mystery. C minor is consisted from C D Eb F G Gb B C so the minor6th triad should be C Eb Gb isn’t it ? Why I see the A to the minor 6th triad so is C Eb G A ? I don’t get it!!! Is it because of the intervals? Thnx the frog Edited November 5, 2010 by KERMITNT Quote

Thnx the frog [/quote] Your spelling of the scale is incorrect: C melodic minor is: C D Eb F G A B C Which would be consistent with the chord you describe. You could also include the 5th, i.e. C Eb G A Jennifer Quote
KERMITNT Posted November 5, 2010 Author Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) oh thnx i didnt know that is called melodic cheers though is silly i know but some times i am stuck of course i forgot the 5th out of hurry Edited November 5, 2010 by KERMITNT Quote
markstuk Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 It's a tadge more complicated in that there are three (or four) common minor scales for each key.. I found this [url="http://cnx.org/content/m10856/latest/"]Minor Scales[/url] which appears to be a fairly succinct summary... Cheers MArk Quote
SaxxyBass Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Off the top of my head what you're describing - C Eb Gb, is a diminshed triad from C diminished scale C,D,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,A,B - Add the A and you get C7diminished. C6 minor will be the C minor triad with the sixth note of the scale added on top - C,Eb,G,A. Hope that helps Edited November 5, 2010 by SaxxyBass Quote

daz Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 There are 3 types of minor scales, Natural, Melodic, Harmonic. (thats just a confusion waiting to happen) Quote
