HARMONIC MINOR MODES - Theory & Practice

Advanced scale THEORY about the 7 harmonic minor modes - an easy TOOL to look up the modes - and some practical improvisation TIPS by the end of the lesson.

We compare the 7 modes with nearby scales to learn the characteristics and we find out when to use the modes; on what chords we can play the specific modes. Then I introduce a smart tool to look up all harmonic minor modes in any key!!! By the end of the lesson we learn some easy practical techniques to improvise over the scales.
