So by now, you’re probably familiar with how to create minor scales. When I say “minor scale,” I’m usually talking about the natural minor scale (the most common).

And that’s exactly what I want to talk about today… the harmonic minor scale.

Time for another episode of “What Key Am I In?” Let’s see how well you know your major and minor keys…
Having trouble playing in minor keys? You’ll literally laugh when you figure out how simple it is to play minor scales and all the chords that correspond to them, once you know your major scales!
So this isn’t going to be easy but if you’re committed, you can learn to play in ALL 12 keys… not just one. I’ll lay out 2 ways to do it. One way, I learned about 16 years ago and still use at times. The other way is more involved, but will help your understanding of music a lot better…
