A minor scale is a diatonic scale characterized by a darker, more somber sound compared to major. There are three main types: natural, harmonic, and melodic. Each with slight interval variations, which affect the melody. Think of it as the 'sad' or 'melancholy' scale, often used in ballads. Minor scales can evoke feelings of sadness, longing, or mystery. It's like the musical equivalent of a cloudy day 🌧️.
