The A natural minor scale is a key scale in Western music, derived from the Aeolian mode. It consists of seven notes and shares the same key signature as its relative major, C major, which means it also contains no sharps or flats. Here is a breakdown of the A Natural Minor Scale Formula and notes:

1. A (Root): The starting point and tonal center of the scale.
2. B (Major 2nd): Two semitones above the Root.
3. C (Minor 3rd): Three semitones above the Root.
4. D (Perfect 4th): Five semitones above the Root.
5. E (Perfect 5th): Seven semitones above the Root.
6. F (Minor 6th): Eight semitones above the Root.
7. G (Minor 7th): Ten semitones above the Root.
8. A (Octave): Completes the scale one octave above the starting A.

The interval structure for the A natural minor scale is tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone (T-ST-T-T-ST-T-T). This sequence defines the characteristic sound of the natural minor scale, distinguished from the major scale by its lowered third, sixth, and seventh intervals.

On the guitar, the A natural minor scale can be played across the fretboard, combining open strings and fretted notes. This scale is fundamental for learning music theory related to minor keys, practicing improvisation, and understanding the construction of minor chords and melodies within the key of A minor.
