Hello Cherries! The Harmonic Minor Scale and it's Modes are essential to know! The Harmonic Minor scale (1, 2, flat3, 4, 5, flat6, 7) features a distinct raised 7th degree that creates a powerful leading tone. Its seven modes—such as Phrygian Dominant, Dorian (sharp4), and Ionian (sharp5)—provide distinct, exotic flavors and functional harmonies. There's a very easy way to learn this. All you have to know is the scale itself. All of the modes are inside the scale. They sound different based on what chord is playing underneath. For instance, if you play GmM7 chord and you play this scale you have a G Harmonic Minor scale. If you play a D7 chord and play the same scale your playing a D Phrygian Dominant mode. Same notes, all based on the chord your playing. In this lesson I'm playing the modes in series. Playing them in parallel would be the next lesson. Understanding them in series like this is just as valuable to get an understanding of the intervals and sounds. Enjoy the video and have a great weekend Everybody ๐ธ❤️

Identifying The Triads Within Each Major Pentatonic Shape
Hello Cherries! Have you ever tried to find the Triads within the Pentatonic Shapes ๐คจ Triads are groups of three notes (root, third, and fifth) ๐ง By identifying these triads, you can create more melodic and harmonic lines. In this ⬇️ NEW VIDEO ⬇️ I go through all 5 Major Pentatonic Positions, 1 string set at a time. Within these positions were going to play the Major Pentatonic Scale and find the triad within the string set. I offer a FREE PDF of all the graphs that I created for this video. This exercise opens up the fretboard for improvement better than anything I know ๐ธ Enjoy the video and have a great weekend everybody ๐
