Rock Lick 8 in A Harmonic minor(E major chord)

[westboarder]

Sick run. Thanks for posting

[Onlymepa]

Thanks for playing the lick slow at the end so that I wouldn't have to fight with Audacity for 45 minutes trying to slow it down to learn it by ear.

[jittboy1]

Isnt that suppose to be E minor chord to a minor chord?A minor relative is c major which has d,e,a as minor tones?and c,f,g major with b diminished?

[Phailure365]

when useing the harmonic minor scale 3 chords are diffrent. the 3rd is augmented the 5th is major and the 7th is diminished

[KillFrenzie]

Thanks for this. Really cool.

[unit335]

The harmonic minor is a beautiful, beautiful mode. Metal guitar and Classical music have more in common than people think. ;)

[dominicmontoya]

this is a really cool lick bud. ive been studying this scale since last night and came up with a few licks but they are very simple compared to this one. It was cool to to make us learn it by ear. it took me a bit but it always feels much better than using tab. good lesson. thank you. keep it up i'd love to hear more from you. :D

[Perseas]

Good for you man!!!I'm so glad it worked for you.

I've always thought that if you do have your ear practiced you can play anything.I suggest you download a software where you can isolate the guitar and break down the tempo without messing with the pitch.

I used it to get some hardcore licks.

It's called TRANSCRIBE.

Try it out.

[dominicmontoya]

Cool man I look it up. I feel the same way.  It's very challenging but the rewards are endless. Check out my video i just put up. It's a lick in A harmonic minor also that was inspired by this video. Let me know what you think. Thanks again Bud!

[Perseas]

i might do that thanks!

[LostWorldHalfLife2]

for how have you been playing guitar

[Perseas]

I begun palying the guitar at the age of 9...I'm almost 27 now so...about 18 years.

But I got to serious practice for about 3 or 4 years.

[LostWorldHalfLife2]

cool did you have a teacher when you started playing guitar?

[Perseas]

yeah but he basically taught me the basics...chords and songs...later on i studied scales on my own ;)

[LostWorldHalfLife2]

cool sweet ill try to do the same thing

[nat0000ham]

i can i get tab for that, please

[Perseas]

I'm afraid not...

I made these videos for ear-practice too.

So screw the tabs and get to work.

Peace...

[abebass90]

wow,AMAZING guitarrist,5 star!!!

visit my channel!!!!

[cradleofjohannes]

hey, isn't the 1st lick from yngwie malmesteen triology suit

[MariusSoma]

If memory serves me correctly it's almost identical, but extended.

[AXXOS2000]

nice

[yamantakaeye]

i never understood what the harmonic minor was for..its too confusing

[Neoclassicalguitar89]

totally the same as a normal minor scale.. just 1 difference: the last tone "G" (when playing the A minor harmonic scale) is raised by ½ so it is G#...

[yamantakaeye]

cool, but how would u use it in a song over a few chords?

Is the G# just played as a leading note or something? that would make more sense to me if it was

[JamesCrow222]

im no expert so I probably will have a bunch of mistakes in here but...basically u can use the harmonic minor in a minor chord progression with a major 7th, so in A minors case the chord progression could be Aminor-Emajor...u get a nice spanish sound with that aswel :)

[johninjersey]

how many hours a day do you practice ?

[xp0ferens]

but nice lesson nevertheless =D

[xp0ferens]

would be cool to post tabs, quite irritating learning it by ear

[Perseas]

master your ear...if you do you'll be 10 times better guitarist than you think you will...plus you need to have a good ear to jam with other musicians ;)

[alexs0t0]

thats really col ;) hahah how long have u been playing?

[killersoundz]

great job.

[FunkMan53]

Your lick isn't just for an E major chord. Try E7b9b13, E7+5 or at least say E7. The lick wouldn't work over an E major 7 chord.

[Perseas]

thanks for the heads up ludwig.

[hickeye]

He didn't say Maj 7...he said Major. In the exmaple he plays a regular e major...no major seventh anywhere.

[FunkMan53]

Of course he said major. but to be more precise, he should have said E7. The major triad E-G#-B, with that scale played over it implies a dominant 7th chord. I was just referring to functional harmony.

[cobhc7]

who gives a shit?

[davydusade]

functional modal would be a major chord for classical harmonic minor....or7th depend if your just using 5ths dont confuse them

[belipo]

this is also E phrygian dominant

nice work

[Zerathul7]

another good one!

[tweekin001]

damn, you sounded just like yngwie! and you teach much better than he does too! again, 5 stars

[Perseas]

Thank you very much my friend.I wish you where living in Greece( i would show you some stuff).

Keep in mind though that speed is a result of mathematical progress via practising.True music comes out from the heart and melody.

[HlynurS]

Dude, that's A HARMONIC Minor. It's a natural minor scale (1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7) except the 7th is raised (1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7).

On the other hand, MELODIC Minor is a totally different thing. It's got a minor 3rd and a major 6 and the formula is (1 2 b3 4 5 6 7).

[Perseas]

You are absolutely right my friend.I'm always comfusing these too.I will change the name right away.Thanks for the tip.

[HlynurS]

Hehe, cool. I'm sorry if I came on a bit harsh there. Just wanted to point the fact out that it's a harmonic minor lick :D

Sweet playing btw.

[Perseas]

No,not harsh at all my friend.If i want to upload an instructional video,It must be correct.Thanks again for the tip.I always comfusing these too...

[bastasbrakoulias]

Say no more(Hit2)
