Guitar scales

Harmonic Minor Scale – Guitar

A natural minor scale with a raised 7th: the neoclassical, exotic sound of Malmsteen and Gypsy jazz.

Formula: 1 – 2 – b3 – 4 – 5 – b6 – 7. The shapes are movable: learn them in one key and slide them to any other. Here it is in A, the most common key to learn it in.
