About this scale
The harmonic minor scale gives guitar a dramatic, Eastern-tinged sound that is instantly recognizable. Its augmented second (W+H) between the 6th and 7th degrees creates a distinctive leap found in flamenco, neoclassical metal (Yngwie Malmsteen) and film scores. It sounds magnificent over i–V progressions in all minor keys.
