It\u2019s often used in classical and jazz music to add tension and resolution. The Harmonic minor scale works well over dominant 7th chords that resolve to minor chords because of its raised 7th degree. It\u2019s perfect for adding a bit of exotic tension to your solos and melodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-69250 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-300x91.jpg\" alt=\"C Harmonic Minor\" width=\"435\" height=\"132\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-300x91.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-1024x312.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-768x234.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-1536x468.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-2048x624.jpg 2048w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-1-640x195.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example (C Harmonic Minor): C &#8211; D &#8211; Eb &#8211; F &#8211; G &#8211; Ab &#8211; B\u266e<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fingerings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Right hand:<\/strong> 1 (C), 2 (D), 3 (Eb), 1 (F), 2 (G), 3 (Ab), 4 (B\u266e)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Left hand:<\/strong> 5 (C), 4 (D), 3 (Eb), 2 (F), 1 (G), 3 (Ab), 2 (B\u266e)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Melodic minor scale<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/the-melodic-minor-scale\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Melodic minor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/blog\/the-melodic-minor-scale\/\"> scale<\/a> has a smooth brighter sound, compared to other minors, due to its raised 6th and 7th degrees.
