Just outline an E major and F major triad and you have 6 of the 7 notes of Harmonic Minor. I learned that from David Becker's book.

[VonBluesman]

Love the tension and resolve of this scale. It has a blues, jazz, and Latin flair to it. Hey Corey, I did have the fire department on standby last night. 😂. Y’all sounded great, phenomenal tone. That was a blast and a cool Friday night surprise. Thanks.

[figueroa]

Excellent breakdown. I appreciate how you made the harmonic minor immediately accessible and applicable to common scenarios. Thanks!

[katleenleceuvre]

this has been an eyeopener for me. been fooling around with this a few hours and the scalesound is starting to settle in my brain and ears .this is creating a bunch of new licks and approaches in my playing. Thank you for the chystal clear explenation on how to apply this great scale and sound. just subscribed !

[lagarthavikings]

I love ur lesson..u dnt just teach us how to play with the cord but also make a beautiful melody...and love ur moustache ❤

[marcelorochaadv]

great lesson! It's so nice to hear that double tension between E7 and the dominant-diminished arpegios. Once you learn to use the diminished from the b9, 7th, 3rd and 5th of the dominant chord, you can use it all over the place, building the tension and relieve

[macjam]

Yes I get it straight away and now understand how to solo over the chord changes. Take bits from the scale or mode you are using as well as arpeggios and move to the next emphasising the chord tones It's got lots of different elements in it like blues, jazz and a bit of Santana Too. Thank you.

[fivewattworld]

Congratulations on 50k Corey. That is a big deal man.

[occamseraser]

Another cool trick of harmonic minor is it has two different IV chords, an IV and an iv - F and Fm with respect to A harm min. Sick video and phrasing for days man.

[danieldoke]

Great job explaining this topic Corey. It is building very nicely with the Dom7, secondary Dom7, 2/5/1 movements, and diminished substitutions I've been deep diving into the past 3 months. BTW, Great show last night at the Underdog, it's always a treat to catch you live in your element!

[utahprepper]

You nailed it man when you mentioned Hotel California. This vibe is all over that tune.

I want to tell you that I'm 55 and I started studying since I was 25. I've taken lessons forever. I've studied under a jazz guy for a year and a half and learned to read music and complicated chords. I've done nothing but wood shed since covid so I know my theory and my scales. One thing my teachers never bothered to teach me was how to tie everything up into a nice neat package. I've been watching your videos and this video I completely understand what's going on. I am watching and going back until I've nailed the rhythm part. Personally, I think you are the best at teaching guitar I've seen. I feel like my playing has improved since I've discovered your channel. Very greatful for your free lessons. The economy is kind of rough and car is in the shop, but when we have sunny days again. I will look into your paid content. Thank you very much.

[adamantoszewski]

Not just fun it’s awesome dude, thank you! I’ve been riffing off the melodic minor (from 1) over the 4 and 5, but this application of the harmonic minor is a lot more elegant. Really really cool, thanks again for the insight.

[timg.]

I just found you on YouTube. I just subscribed. I've been playing guitar for over 45 years. I'm good with chords & progressions, but never learned to solo. I'm working on it now. Thanks for the help!

[tylerpartin]

I’m glad I found this guy lol… been looking for a good guitar teacher for a while I’m stuck in the minor pentatonic box lol…. I’m a new WCG Subscriber too just got my first free month last night and excited about starting!

[baranyiproduction]

Great lesson!! What a simply way to understand the the harmonic minor! You are a good teacher!! Thank you

[charlie]

Really really good teacher!!All good things I heard someone played before, now I know how these happened, thank you!

[joebloe]

Wow you gotta be the first youtube guitarist who gets the harmonic minor.
Excellent lesson. Amen to this

[sionmichel]

Completely awesome lesson. Your teaching just keeps getting better and more considerate than ever. Followed you for years since the first true fire courses. I am blown away today. This is some cool material to get under my fingers. Thank you!🤘🙏☮️❤️🎸

[jjboogie]

I almost didn't watch this because I didn't think it would be something I could really implement into my playing. Glad I did since I am doing some minor blues stuff lately and this is just what I needed to spice things up in a great way. Great lesson Corey. Thx
