What It Is
Natural minor with a raised 6th degree - degree 2 of the major scale. Notes: F, G, Ab, Bb, C, D, Eb.
How It Functions
Minor-sounding but less dark than natural minor, because the raised 6th removes the harshest half step.
Mood & Character
Mellow and cool - minor-toned without feeling heavy, a favorite 'thoughtful' or groove-oriented minor sound in jazz and funk.
