The Natural Minor Scale contains the same notes and interval relationships as the 6th mode of its relative Major scale ( The Aeolian Mode ). So the Modal Patterns below can be substituted for those equivalent modes found in the Major Scale.
| The Natural Minor | Equivalent Major Scale Mode |
| Mode 1 = | Aeolian Mode |
| Mode 2 = | Locrian Mode |
| Mode 3 = | Ionian Mode |
| Mode 4 = | Dorian Mode |
| Mode 5 = | Phrygian Mode |
| Mode 6 = | Lydian Mode |
| Mode 7 = | Mixolydian Mode |
