Since we are descending down, the 2nd pattern would begin on the high E at the 12th fret. This 6-note triplet pattern ascends up in 3 octaves and then descends down the 2nd pattern, that is built off of the major 7th degree, G#.
This is in the A harmonic minor scale, (A, B, C, D, E, F, G#) and the first 6-note pattern begins with an F on the 6th string.
It is important to know the scale all over the neck and you should be familiar with the sound of the scale, as well as the modes of the harmonic minor.Įxample 1 is a great way to memorize the scale, just by taking 6-note patterns off of each scale degree in 3 octaves. The formula for the harmonic minor scale is (1, 2, b3, 4, 5, b6, 7), a natural minor scale with a raised 7th. We covered the harmonic minor in a previous lesson, so I won't go in detail in this lesson. I'm feeling inspired to show you the cool harmonic minor scale, some moveable type patterns, and some ways you can get some fresh new modern type sounds from the scale. Welcome back! I'm writing this lesson from the friendly skies, to the far land, over the Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands.
