About the C aeolian scale
The Aeolian mode, identical to the natural minor scale, is built on the 6th degree of the major scale. It has a melancholic and introspective sound due to its minor third, minor sixth, and minor seventh. It is the basis of minor key harmony in virtually all Western music genres.
