The natural minor scale is one of the most beautiful scales in music. It sounds sad and melancholic so it can be used over a minor chord progression to create beautiful melodies and guitar solos.

In this lesson, we are going to have a look at the E Natural minor scale and I am going to show you how to use some of the notes of the scale to outline the character and style of a melody.

The E natural minor scale is E F# G A B C D E. The two notes that really give the melancholic sound to the scale are the F# and C. You should learn the sound of these two notes really well as they are the two notes we will be focusing on today.

Once you are done learning the solo, spend time writing your melody using the E natural minor scale.

Enjoy this lesson.
