When building chord progressions around this scale, we use the degrees of the scale as the chord root notes and build the appropriate chords on each of these degrees, giving us a chord scale. Harmonic minor is a modal system as well as just another scale for using in your solos. So here it is!įirstly, when talking about “harmonic minor progressions”, this can mean two things:ġ) A chord progression over which you can play a harmonic minor scale lead/solo.Ģ) A chord progression that solely uses chords built around the degrees of the harmonic minor scale (known as a modal chord progression). I had a request from someone on the help page to provide an example of a harmonic minor chord progression. Let your fine balance of intuition and exploration craft the chord progression.

So do try working those bass lines around static chord shapes and see if you can weave them into your progressions, as opposed to crowbarring! Your mind should be a pool of ideas, free of closed intentions. In this case, I felt the G major chord could resolve nicely back to the B major tonic, even though it lies outside of the traditional diatonic framework. If that major landing chord happens to resolve naturally back to the tonic (or even a new tonic), then it gives it a kind of logical after-thought. Personally, I love the sound of moving down a semitone, from minor to major. The vibrant open G chord provided a slightly unpredictable collapse down from the unstable Abm chord. It was then just a case of finding a suitable next movement for that E string bass note, again, ensuring the new note is compatible with the static B major triad. As the note E is part of the B major key, it’s compatible. So the B major chord becomes what we call a “ slash chord” with an E bass note.
