The modes of the Harmonic Minor Scale are as follows: A mode’s scale degrees are in reference to its new starting point. So the first mode of the Harmonic Minor Scale is built on the first note (therefore it’s the same), and the second mode of the scale is built on the second note, and so on so forth. It differs from the Aeolian mode (6th mode of the Major Scale aka the Natural Minor) by one note: Aeolian has a♭7 (minor seventh) and the Harmonic Minor has a 7 (major seventh).īefore we get into chords, let’s quickly go over the Harmonic Minor modes.Įach mode is built starting on a different scale degree of the Scale itself. The Harmonic Minor Scale differs from the Major Scale by its ♭3 and ♭6. W-h-w-w-h-wh-h *w = whole step // h = half step // wh = whole step+ half step* Or, Alternatively by the following intervals: The Harmonic Minor Scale is defined by the following scale degrees: So, without further ado, let’s build the chords of the Harmonic Minor Scale!
We’ll also look at a cool application of these chords and how they relate to the Harmonic Minor’s modes. More specifically, we’ll look at the triads and seventh chords. In this article, we’ll discuss the chords of the Harmonic Minor Scale! Inspired by my Chords of the Melodic Minor Scale article, I would like to present chords based on harmonizing other heptatonic scales.
