What It Is
Natural minor with the 2nd and 6th degrees removed, leaving five notes with no half steps between them. Notes: E, G, A, B, D.
How It Functions
Every note fits over a minor-key or blues backing with minimal dissonance.
Mood & Character
Gritty and moody - the default rock/blues guitar-solo sound, dark without harmonic minor's exotic tension.
