E A D G B E · first 12 frets

In scale order from the tonic — press one, or ▶ play the scale

Nothing measured outside plain natural minor — the key really does tell the whole story here.

To solo over it: B minor pentatonic fits everywhere. Open in the workbench →

Same seven notes as the key — each mode just treats a different one as home. The mode on a degree is the scale that fits the chord on that degree.

• IDD Ionianplain major — the reference
• iiEmE Dorian♮6minor, but hopeful — the raised 6th
• iiiF♯mF♯ Phrygian♭2minor with a dark, Spanish ♭2
• IVGG Lydian♯4major, floating — the dreamy ♯4
• VAA Mixolydian♭7major, bluesy — the flat 7th
• viBmB Aeoliannatural minor — the sad onethis song
• vii°C♯°C♯ Locrian♭5unstable — rarely a home

In scale order from the tonic — press one, or ▶ play the run

• F♭5♭5 — the blues flat five, or a diminished/half-diminished chord.

Measured against B minor — everything else played fits the scale.
