Harmonic minor Guitar Scales

Welcome to the Harmonic minor guitar scale page at TheGuitarFretboard.com

The Harmonic Minor scale has the same notes as the natural minor scale except that the 7th degree is a semitone higher. This means you can build the harmonic minor scale from the major scale by lowering the 3rd and 6th degrees. The 7th degree is only a semitone below the tonic or root note and acts as a leading tone to the tonic, creating a stronger harmonic pull to the root when compared to the natural minor scale.

The Harmonic minor scale has the following scale definition :

R 2 b3 4 5 b6 7

These are all the Harmonic minor scales we have on the website
