Easy Spanish Guitar B Harmonic Minor Scale
Hey there. In this video, I thought I'd teach you how to play a B Harmonic Minor Scale.
This is a great scale that I enjoyed using to improvise and create some Spanish Flamenco
sound. I thought I'd show you how the scale sounds with the chord progression first and
then I'll show you how the scale works. Let me get my band going here. Ready, go. Stop!
Okay, let's take a look at that scale. So start here on the fifth string second fret
using my first finger so apply the scale right now - third finger, fourth down to the fourth
string first finger, third finger, fourth. I'm gonna jump over with my first finger on
the third string that's the third fret and then second finger that's because I'm gonna
go up here and then slight up with my pinky that's the seventh fret then over to the next
string, third finger, pinky that's the eight fret second string now my second finger and
third finger. You know, I wanna change that last. I often do it that way but I wanna teach
you to change it with your first finger on the first string seventh fret and then second
finger. You can use your pinky free to play another note so that's the whole scale.
Let's do that again together. Start on the fifth string first finger second fret, it
sounds like that, that's the B ---- B then to C sharp with your third finger that's the
fourth fret same string, pinky on the fifth string D, first finger on the fourth string
now switching over that's the second fret third finger and pinky fifth fret. Now switch
over to your first finger to the third string that's what makes it a harmonic minor supposed
to work just minor, that's one and a half step lead --- and then jump. I'm on my first
finger third string third fret then my second finger fourth fret go with the pinky on the
sixth fret and then slide up to the seventh fret, I'm still on the third string. Now we
will go over to the second string that's the fifth fret third finger now seventh fret,
pinky eight fret and we're gonna use my first finger or use your first finger on the first
string sixth fret and then on the seventh fret for now. Memorize and it could go up
another note but on the end of the B it's a nice completion.
Let's go down now starting there with a second finger on the seventh fret first string. Now
first string, one step back and I switch over to my pinky that's the second string eight
fret, seventh fret third finger, now the fifth fret first finger, pinky on the third string,
third finger, first finger. Slide down one step, one fret same and then over to the fourth
string pinky, third finger that's one half step one fret, first finger two frets one
whole step, pinky fourth finger, first string fifth fret, down the half step, one fret and
half step same and then one whole step that's two frets down to the B. Listen for just a
second, here's what we we're doing..... going down, slide there, one more time. Come on.
Let's do it together.
We'll go nice and slow. I'll just say the name of the finger I'm using right now. I'll
stay away from the rest of the stuff so give it a shot just do the best you can. Ready,
start by the way with the fifth string second fret first finger. Here we go. I'll go 1,
3, 4, 1, 2 and so forth and so on. Ready, go 1, 3, 4, next string 1, 3, 4 next string
1, 2, 4 slide, 4 next string 1, 3, 4, next string 1, 2 going backwards stay on 2 now
1, over string 4, 3, 1, over string 4, 3, 1 now slide 1, 4, next string 3, 1, 4, 3,
1.
Okay, so you can always rewind that and look at it again. If you like this, please share
it with your friends, share on Facebook, subscribe also let me know what the comments. If you
want, I'll put this chord progression so you can jam along with the video but only if people
ask for it. I don't wanna do stuff out there that you don't want.
Also, I can share you the chord progression too in another video. Let me know. Give me
some comments. Thanks. Look forward to seeing you next time, bye.
