The other minor scale forms that you might come across are melodic minor and harmonic minor. We won’t go into great detail on these two scales in this book but the formulas are:

Melodic Minor = D3

Harmonic Minor = D3, D6

Depending on how you think about it, there are countless ways to relate these or any scales and modes to something familiar. As we saw earlier, a natural minor scale is a major scale with a D3, D6, and D7. You could also say a natural minor scale is a Dorian mode with a D6 or a Phrygian mode with a n2. The possibilities are endless but I would suggest not getting carried away trying to figure out different ways to look at the same thing. Comparing scales and modes to the major scale and in some cases, the natural minor, will give you what you need. Otherwise, you’ll soon hit the point of diminishing returns. For example, we all know that one dollar is equal to four quarters, ten dimes, twenty nickels, or a hundred pennies. That’s probably all you really need to have committed to memory and from there you can compute any variants if need be. Going out of your way to memorize that one dollar is also three quarters plus two dimes plus five pennies, or forty-five pennies, a nickel, and two quarters becomes wasted energy very quickly.
