About the B minor scale
The natural minor scale, also known as the Aeolian mode, is the second most important scale in Western music. Its lowered 3rd, 6th, and 7th degrees compared to the major scale give it a dark, sad, and introspective quality. It is the foundation of minor key harmony used across all genres.
