Video Transcript

"I wanted to show you here is a harmonic minor scale, in this case I'm going to show you the A harmonic minor, and in theory how it's broken up. Basically it starts off much like the A minor scale, it's A, B, C, D, E, and then F, and then instead of going to G it goes to G sharp, and then ending on the root note of A, so it's A, B, C, D, E, F, G sharp, A, and that's what gives it that tonality of the harmonic minor, and it kind of gives it that more brooding, sad, dark tone. And again a popular favorite in classical but also in other styles like metal and so forth. So basically here, we're going to go A, B, C, D, E, F, G sharp, A. And if you wanted to finish it, it's A, B, C, D, E, F, G sharp, A. "
