Correction: The Xs shown in the diagrams of the 7th chords shouldn’t be there. That’s a mistake.

Lesson Description:
Have you ever encountered this chord?: EbMaj7(#5). If you have then you’ve encountered one of the harmonic minor scale chords. If you haven’t then you might be interested in knowing how crazy chords like that can even exist in the first place. In short, weirder chords come from weirder scales, which in my opinion includes the harmonic minor scale. In this week’s lesson we explore the chords of the harmonic minor scale, and specifically the harmonic minor scale guitar chord shapes that I recommend learning as an introduction to harmonic minor chords.

This lesson on the chords of the harmonic minor scale definitely gets into some potentially confusing theory concepts, but that’s fun right?? 🙂 Regardless, the harmonic minor scale chords presented with the chord shape diagrams that I provide should be simple to play with on your own, even if some of the theory is confusing. I hope you enjoy hearing the weirdness of that augmented chord from these harmonic minor chords (it’s one of my faves) as well as discovering that harmonic minor is one of the sources of the diminished 7 chord.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! 🙂
