KERMITNT Posted November 5, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markstuk Posted November 5, 2010 Share 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...

SaxxyBass Posted November 5, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
