Harmonic Minor is a very interesing minor scale. Not a scale you PLAY so much ... but an important scale in the structure of certain minor key harmonizations. If you harmonize the Natural Minor Scale, you get a v chord that is MINOR ... but over time, we decided we liked the V chord major as it is in major key music. When harmonized, Harmonic Minor yields a V chord that is major (hence the name Harmonic Minor). This is also the only 8 note per octave minor scale that contains an AUGMENTED 2nd INTERVAL between the b6 and the 7th ... so the scale goes 1 - 2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - 7 - 8. This scale also has 7 modes. As usual, there are 12 fingerings for it in our normal chromatic "box" orientation. Do you need to know all 12? Not unless you want to be the next Modern Jazz "phenom". Try to learn as many as you can ... 4 to 6 is a good figure to shoot for. Start with the easiest ones first ... the ones that have the fewest FINGER SHIFTS. To totally understand your fretboard and how to do finger shifts, visit www.guitar-instruction-free-lessons-online.com/chromatic-scale . Remember, the RED DOT is your ROOT NOTE and these boxes can be moved anywhere on the fretboard to play in all 12 keys.
