Ben Higgins29th May 2011Interesting note choices :-)
Daniel Realpe29th May 2011I love the change of perception of the rocking backing once you contrast the pentatonic with harmonic minor. Friedmanish in a way, very cool!

Hi GMC-ers! Here is the harmonic minor themed lesson in which I'll show you how we can combine a simple minor scale with harmonic minor scale. The difference between the harmonic and the simple minor is only in a half step at the end of the scale. The last note is raised for a half step in the harmonic minor and it gives a special sound to it. It's often used in folk, jazz, classical, and rock-metal.
The first part of the lesson is in a simple D minor, then I use a G harmonic minor. The second part is in a G minor. First I play a G minor scale and then a combination with a G major arpeggio.
