are you using minMaj 7 chord in the rhythm it sounds like?
Gabriel Leopardi5th March 2018are you using minMaj 7 chord in the rhythm it sounds like?
Hi mate, the guitar keeps playing a Cm diad that only includes the root and the minor third. However, there is also a keyboard adding a third note so the resulting chord progression by combining both is:
One meassure (4 beats) each chord.

In today's lesson we'll play with the harmonic minor scale. Harmonic minor is basically a natural minor scale with a major 7th. Mastering that scale can greatly improve your musical vocabulary.
The cool thing about the harmonic minor scale is that you can use it when playing on a natural minor scale...
Even though the 7th is not the same, the effect can be very tasty.. Try it!
This lesson is written in C harmonic minor. I provided a few backing tracks for you to play with.
I hope you enjoy this one!
