Introduction

 

One of my students asked me the other day: why not alter the mirror images so they would be as clear to lefties as they are to us, righties. I quickly realized that he was damn right; being a lefty, I should have thought about this earlier! Nevertheless, I made the alterations so lefties could also have a clear understanding of the mirror images.

 

Here's how the right-handed mirror images are changed to lefties:

 

A right-handed mirror image...

 

 

...becomes lefty thanks to some undefinable magic...

 

 

...which is called horizontal flip. J This has allowed me to very quickly convert all the scales in Harmonic minor scale degrees II. section into left-handed mirror  images. Using the normal ways of describing music, i.e. sheet music and guitar tabs, I would not be able to do this kind of alteration at all. This proves the systematic approach of the Pénzes Methodology.

 

This section does not contain Flash scale animations.
