G Minor
G · A · B♭ · C · D · E♭ · F
Also called the natural minor or Aeolian mode, G Minor flattens the third, sixth, and seventh of the major scale to produce the standard sad-sounding scale. It's the default choice for minor-key rock, pop, metal, and folk, and it shares its notes with the major scale a minor third above. Essential vocabulary alongside the major scale.
