When you play minor intervals, chords or keys (versus major) - they have a semitone step to the 3rd and 6th. Some examples:
- C minor 3rd = C + Eb
- D minor 3rd = D + F
- A minor 6th = A + F
- E flat minor 6th = Eb + Cb
- G minor chord = G + Bb + D
- B flat minor chord = Bb + Db + F
Minor scales come in several varieties:
- harmonic - same up + down
- melodic - whole tone steps for last 2 notes in each direction
- natural - using notes of relative major
