Modes Of The Harmonic Minor Scale
Tabs, letra y acordes de 'Modes Of The Harmonic Minor Scale' por Misc Scales
Harmonic Minor and its Modes Basically the same as the natural minor scale only you raise the seventh degree of the scale. Although slightly unconventional, I favour diagonal, 2 octave box shapes for illustrating and playing scales. I have shown then starting on the 6th and 5th strings. The tabbed examples may not match up to the box pattern but they are the same scales I promise/hope! You may want to adopt your own fingering for playing these scales. "R" refers to the root note of the scale.i.e. if you wanted to play a C harmonic minor scale you would start the shape at the 8th fret of the bottom string. The modes of the harmonic minor scale have no common names so I have simply referred to them as Mode (HM), HM being an acronym for 'harmonic minor'. If you know any accepted names for these scales then please post a comment, i.e '"Phrygian (HM)" is often referred to as "Phrygian Dominant"'. very rarely used in music apart from Aeolian(HM) (classical minor tonality - i.e Bach) or Phrygian(HM) (a Spanish flavour). "R" refers to the root note of the scale. So if you wanted to play a C harmonic minor scale you would start the shape the 8th fret of the bottom string. _______________________________________________________________________ Aeolian (HM) Probably the most commonly used of all these modes, this is the basic harmonic minor scale. Its just Aeolian mode with a sharp seventh. |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|---|---|-0-|-R-|---| |---|---|---|---|-0-|-R-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|-0-|-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---| |---|-0-|-R-|---|-0-|-0-| |-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E Aeolian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|------------------------------11-12-| |-----------------------0-1-4---|----------------------10-12-13------| |-------------------0-2---------|-------------8-9-11-12--------------| |-------------1-2-4-------------|-------7-9-10-----------------------| |-------0-2-3-------------------|-7-9-10-----------------------------| |-0-2-3-------------------------|------------------------------------| E F# G A B C D# E _______________________________________________________________________ Locrian (HM) A (pretty much) useless scale but with a sharpened sixth. Still pretty useless. Like in any other list of modes, it's only here for completeness. |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|-R-|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|-R-| |---|---|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |-0-|---|-R-|-0-|---|-0-|---| |-0-|---|-R-|-0-|---|-0-| |-0-|-0-|---|---|-0-|---|---| |-0-|-0-|---|---|-0-|---| |-R-|-0-|---|-0-|---|---|---| |-R-|-0-|---|-0-|---|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E Locrian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|------------------------------10-12-| |-------------------------1-4---|----------------------9-11-13-------| |-------------------0-1-3-------|-------------7-9-10-12--------------| |-------------0-2-3-------------|-------6-8-10-----------------------| |---------1-3-------------------|-7-8-10-----------------------------| |-0-1-3-4-----------------------|------------------------------------| E F G Ab Bb C D E _______________________________________________________________________ Ionian (HM) A major scale with a sharpened, or augmented, 5th. Try playing it over I+,IV+ or V#+ chords (notes:I-IV-V#). |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-R-|---| |---|-0-|-0-|---|-0-|-R-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|---|-0-| |---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |---|-0-|-R-|---|-0-|---|-0-| |---|-0-|-R-|---|-0-|---| |-0-|---|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |-0-|---|---|-0-|-0-|---| |-R-|---|-0-|---|-0-|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|---|-0-|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E Ionian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|----------------------------9-11-12-| |-----------------------1-2-4---|----------------------10-13---------| |-------------------1-2---------|---------------8-9-11---------------| |-------------1-2-4-------------|-------7-10-11----------------------| |-------0-3-4-------------------|-7-9-11-----------------------------| |-0-2-4-------------------------|------------------------------------| E F# G# A B# C# D# E _______________________________________________________________________ Dorian (HM) The Dorian scale with a sharpened fourth is sometimes referred to as the Romanian Minor. |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|-R-|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|-R-| |---|---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-| |---|---|-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---| |---|---|-R-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|-0-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---| |---|-0-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E Dorian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|----------------------------9-10-12-| |-----------------------0-2-3---|----------------------11-12---------| |-------------------0-3---------|---------------7-9-11---------------| |-------------0-2-4-------------|-------8-9-11-----------------------| |-------1-2-4-------------------|-7-9-10-----------------------------| |-0-2-3-------------------------|------------------------------------| E F# G A# B C# D E _______________________________________________________________________ Phrygian (HM) The major third brightens this typically minor-type mode. |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-R-|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|-R-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-| |-0-|---|-R-|-0-|---|---|-0-| |---|---|-R-|---|-0-|-0-| |-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |---|-0-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |-R-|-0-|---|---|-0-|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E Phrygian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|------------------------------10-12-| |-----------------------0-1-3---|----------------------10-12-13------| |-------------------1-2---------|-------------7-9-10-13--------------| |-------------0-2-3-------------|-----6-7-9-10-----------------------| |-------0-2-3-------------------|-7-8--------------------------------| |-0-1-4-------------------------|------------------------------------| E F G# A B C D E _______________________________________________________________________ Lydian (HM) First interval is a minor third, turning this usually major-type mode right on it'd head. |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-R-| |---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-R-| |---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---| |---|-0-|-R-|---|---|-0-| |---|-0-|-R-|---|---|-0-| |---|-0-|-0-|---|-0-|---| |---|-0-|-0-|---|-0-|---| |-R-|---|---|-0-|-0-|---| |-R-|---|---|-0-|-0-|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: Fb Lydian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|----------------------------9-11-12-| |-----------------------0-2-4---|---------------------9-11-12--------| |-----------------0-1-3---------|---------------8-9-12---------------| |-------------1-2---------------|---------8-9-11---------------------| |-------1-2-4-------------------|-7-10-11----------------------------| |-0-3-4-------------------------|------------------------------------| Fb G Ab Bb Cb Db Eb Fb _______________________________________________________________________ Mixolydian (HM) Very unusual sound since the root note of the scale has been sharpened. |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|-0-|-0-|---|-R-|---| |---|---|---|---|---|-R-|---| |---|---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|---|-R-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|---|-R-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |-R-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |-R-|-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E# Mixolydian (HM) |-----------------------------1-|----------------------------9-10-13-| |-----------------------0-2-3---|--------------------9-10-12---------| |-------------------1-2---------|-------------7-10-11----------------| |-------------0-3-4-------------|-------7-9-11-----------------------| |-------0-2-4-------------------|-8-9-11-----------------------------| |-1-2-4-------------------------|------------------------------------| E# F# G# A B C# D E# _______________________________________________________________________ Well, there's a lot there, and chances are you'll only ever use two or three of them since they are typically a little too angular to sound nice to our ears. Regardless, I hope that this is useful for study or if you've reached a dead end in your playing and want to try a different approach, or simply if you want to sound like a smart-arse at your local jam nights. Thanks a lot, MikeOfTheChimps.
