This video is a Harmonic Minor Scale Lesson. Used to great effect in Neoclassical music by the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen and Vinnie Moore. Characterized by the dreaded augmented second interval, get ready to cause mass destruction with this killer scale!!
What's your favorite harmonic minor song, or artist that uses the scale? How do you like to use the scale? Have any of your own videos using this scale?
For those interested in the music theory,
To construct the Harmonic Minor Scale, you take Natural, or regular Minor and raise the seventh degree a half step.
A Natural Minor Scale: A-B-C-D-E-F-G
A Harmonic Minor Scale: A-B-C-D-E-F-G#
We'll use my Modal Pedal Point Exercise to provide harmonic context for the sound of this scale. By using the i-iv-V chords or Am-Dm-E, we can paint a rich harmonic soundscape that illustrates this enchanting mode with clarity.
Let me know if you have any questions, or a different way to approach this scale in the comments below. Let's talk harmonic minor!
