The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♮7 scale) is a musical scale derived from the natural minor scale, with the minor seventh degree raised by one semitone to a major seventh, [2] [3] [4] creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees.
A harmonized scale can be created by using each note of a musical scale as a root note for a chord and then by taking other tones within the scale building the rest of a chord. [3] For example, using an Ionian (major scale) the root note would become the I major chord, the second note the ii minor chord, the third note the iii minor chord,
The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♯ 7 scale) has the same notes as the natural minor scale except that the seventh degree is raised by one semitone, creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees.
Double the harmonic number means double the frequency (which sounds an octave higher). An illustration in musical notation of the harmonic series (on C) up to the 20th harmonic. The numbers above the harmonic indicate the difference – in cents – from equal temperament (rounded to the nearest integer). Blue notes are very flat and red notes ...
The chord occurs on the tonic when harmonizing the harmonic minor scale in seventh chords. That is, the first, third, fifth, and seventh scale degrees of the harmonic minor scale form a minor major seventh chord, as shown below.
The key note, or tonic, of a piece of music is called note number one, the first step of (here), the ascending scale iii–IV–V. Chords built on several scale degrees are numbered likewise. Thus the chord progression E minor–F–G can be described as three–four–five, (or iii–IV–V). A chord may be built upon any note of a musical scale.
The double harmonic scale is arrived at by either: lowering both the second and sixth of the Ionian mode by a semitone. lowering the second note and raising the third note of the harmonic minor scale by one semitone. raising the seventh of the Phrygian dominant scale (a mode of the harmonic minor scale) by a semitone.
Inverted major and minor chords can be played on two frets in M3 tuning. [76] [77] In standard tuning, the shape of inversions depends on the involvement of the irregular major third, and can involve four frets. [78] It is a challenge to adapt conventional guitar chords to new standard tuning, which is based on all-fifths tuning. [j]
