guitar scale
E♭ natural minor
The major scale started from its sixth degree: same seven notes, a different centre of gravity.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are D♯ natural minor.
Written out
Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.
The step pattern
What is true of it
E♭ natural minor is E♭, F, G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭ and D♭, and back to E♭.
Its steps are W – H – W – W – H – W – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.
It costs 6 alterations to write — near the limit of what a key signature can carry.
On the same tonic, E♭ harmonic minor differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 43 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
