F Minor Scale for Reading a Fake Book in A Major

Video Transcript

Now we're going to find our last cord and it is our relative minor. Again, your minor chords start on the second note on the scale. On relative minor, we can still find the chord by using the same scale. Instead it's F sharp, which is the 6th degree of our scale, right? A, B, C, D, E, F sharp and it comes out of E major, but E major is closely related to A. So, we can still use the same scale. So, if we start on F sharp and count out 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1. You get this as our separate chord. 1,3,5,7. So, you have F sharp, A, C sharp, E. The only real difference is, instead of playing D, be playing D sharp, but we're not even putting that in the scale so don't worry about that now. So, there is our F sharp minor. So, we have our 6th minor now. Now we can do what's called a 1,6,2,5 turnaround where we go 1 major, 6 minor, 2 minor, 5, 7. 1 major, 6 minor, 2 minor, 5, 7 and that's our 1, 6, 2, 5 turnaround. Those are our first four chords, and we're going go through and utilize them in our first song in just a minute.
