What is true of it
F natural minor is F, G, A♭, B♭, C, D♭ and E♭, and back to F.
Its steps are W – H – W – W – H – W – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.
On the same tonic, F harmonic minor differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 43 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
