Modes Of The Harmonic Minor Scale
5,635
Published 2024-03-20
This lesson takes the raw elements discussed in the previous two harmonic minor-related lessons, and combines that material to locate and arrange the modal tonalities hiding within this popular and exotic-sounding scale.
As you begin uncovering and listening to these modal flavors, you may recognize a few, while others might have you grabbing a few Q-Tips to clean your ears out afterward. Harmonic minor is considered an exotic scale, so the modal sounds and scales it creates are equally as exotic. Needless to say, there's plenty of dissonance and oddball tonalities floating around in this lesson, so be ready for a number of these unusual things that will pop up in this modal overview lesson.

A little tip for everyone getting into this: After looking at the different shapes here, I'd recommend taking the chart and transposing every mode to start in A, so: β’ A Harmonic Minor β’ A Locrian Nat. 6th β’ A Ionian #5 β’ And so on... That will definitely help in understanding how different and unique are the flavors of every mode. It definitely helped me a lot when learning the regular modes.
