THE HARMONIC MINOR MODES The harmonic minor modes are a great source for generating interesting choices for improvisation.Rock/ metal players find modes I and V particularly useful. Check out mode IV over an A- vamp or mode VII over a dim 7th chord as a great alternative to a diminished scale.
Play each scale over an A drone note to hear their individual personality.
Theyre all worth a look !

All the derived modes are measured against the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 intervals of the major scale (see Lesson 22 ) creating a unique interval row for each mode. The major scale is the measuring stick for all other scales .

MODE INTERVALS
By highlighting each of the modes scale tones ( ) you can extract the appropriate chord that works correctly with that particular mode.
THE HARMONIC MINOR MODES
1 3 5
1 3 5 = Augmented triad (building block for augmented chords).
= Diminished triad (building block for diminished chords).
= Major triad (building block for major chords).1 3 5
1 3 5 = Minor triad (building block for minor chords).
The harmonic minor modes contain all 4 of the basic triads in western music.
