Do you have this information the other modes:

“Here’s the formula for finding chords in a harmonic minor scale:
1=minor, 2=diminished, b3=augmented, 4=minor, 5=major, b6=major, 7=dim.
So if your playing in the key of A, you get the following chords:
Am – Bdim – Caug – Dm – E – F – G#dim.

We can also stack another third on top of each scale degree (3rd,5th and 7th) to extend the chords.
We get the following formula:
1=minorMaj7, 2=minor7b5, b3=Maj7#5, 4=minor7, 5=dom7, b6=Maj7, 7=dim7.
So if your playing in the key of A, you get the following chords:
AmMaj7 – Bm7b5 – CMaj7#5 – Dm7 – E7 – FMaj7 – G#dim7.”

Great example, listen to Steve Hackett, old Genesis, “firth of fifth” a classic guitar solo which is “epic..” He still plays this today.. every guitarist should listen to that song. Now that’s the awesomeness of Harmonic Minor solo!! Album: Selling England By the Pound/Genesis

One of my favorite scales! Especially for soloing I really love the harmonic minor scale. You do a great job explaining the theory behind the scale as well. Understanding not only the formula but what it all means is critical. Without that understanding you’ll be in the dark as soon as you’re asked to change key! I’m sure this post will be very helpful to many guitarists. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Alex. Hi Alex, Thanks. I can imagine playing just pentatonic scales doesn't really feel like melodic playing. If you really want to get melodic with the pentatonic/blues scale check out the 50coolblueslicksimprovisation" course. Have fun! Best regards, Klaus Crow
