Not that it really matters, but (to oversimplify) "harmonic", "natural" and "melodic" generally describe minor scales, not minor keys. In traditional harmony, a piece in the key of f minor may use any or all of these scales, depending on the harmonic/melodic/aesthetic context. As to which scale GG would prefer, I might posit that it would depend on the context--and his mood. John Mansfield jmansfield@cov.com
