Thank you for the Everything You Need to Know About Harmonic Minor course. Appreciated!!!

This lesson definitely helped make some things click in my head. Thank you!

I tend to use the harmonic minor scale when playing over the E7 only. Many times, E7 is substituted into and A minor progression as the V7 of the I chord (A minor). Normally, the V chord is minor (E minor) in the key of A minor but when you change it to E7 (which is substituted from the key of A major), This changes the scale for the "chord of them moment" from the natural to the harmonic minor. Once you resolve the E7 chord to A minor, you switch the scale back to the A natural minor. This happens a lot in Spanish, Latin guitar music.

Really like this way of introducing the scale by showing how the E7 leads to Am and then building on it.

Good lesson on replacement chords in the scale. You've got a knack for these.

Sean, thanks for the lesson! I really love the harmonic minor for exercises, and for some reason I especially like the E's mode (ultraphygian?) of the A harmonic minor (the E-F-G#-A arpeggio on the A and D strings, and the 9-10 runs on D, G and B strings are great for noodling (-: ). Question for the forthcoming Q&A: can you talk about other "accidental" chords in the harmonic minor and how one would take advantage of them (what I mean, e.g., is that with both G# and A in the scale, we can have play both F and Fm chords diatonically). I really like that these "extra" chords are diatonic, but am not sure how to use them in progressions.

Hi Sean! An other great video! Thanks a lot! Please, could you make a video about melodic minor?

[bloodeater]

somehow still manages to make this scale sound not dark at all

[dreamynachos]

In harmonic minor you can have a vi or a VI without leaving the key, which can be very useful.

[danielrenaud]

So the G was changed to create the tension necessary to drive you back home to the a that's where the harmonic minor comes from right is adding that extra note if I remember right I'm trying to learn this stuff but is that correct

[donindri]

Yes, change 1note by semitone and change the world. Since you get an augmented chord and a diminished chord, you are a half step away from the Major or relative minor of each note of augmented chord and a half step away from a dominant chord or the minor 7 b5 of each note in the diminished. Should be called the Harmonic and Demonic Putin scale! Thanks for posting.

This sounds like a job for SyndieJo-
and her cat-piano.

Anyway that is the sound you hear in old 🎥
