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!
