The Harmonic Major Scale - Guitar lesson – Crystal Clear |
![]() |
In this crystal clear guitar lesson you’ll learn all about the harmonic major scale or Ionian b6 scale, that can be used for Rock, Pop, Jazz, Fusion and other styles. The scale sound sounds melancholic and major at the same time, resulting in a mysterious sounding scale.
In this guitar tutorial we look at the scale and arpeggios that are derived from harmonizing the harmonic major scale. We’ll see what chord progressions you can make with the beautiful but spicy chords. And we look at the modes of the scale and their applications, such as the Dorian b5, Phrygian b4, Melodic minor #4 or Lydian b3, Lydian augmented #2, Mixolydian b2 and Locrian bb7. 0:00 Introduction harmonic major scale 0:55 Structure of the harmonic major scale 2:55 Scale diagrams 3:36 Harmonizing the scale – TRIADS 6:23 Harmonizing the scale – 7 CHORDS 8:27 Chord progressions in the harmonic major scale 10:26 Making music with the Harmonic Major scale 11:15 Improvising with arpeggios and scale 13:54 Modes of the Harmonic Major scale 19:21 Conclusion Crystal Clear E-BOOKS with audio files: ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Easy arpeggios for sophisticated results https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/e-book-easy-arpeggios-for-sophisticated-sounds ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Improvising over dominant 7 chords (using scales) https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/e-book-improvising-over-dominant-chords ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Modes of the major scale crystal clear https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/e-book-modes-of-the-major-scale-crystal-clear ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Exotic Pentatonic scale for Guitar https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/exotic-pentatonic-scales-for-guitar ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Modes of the harmonic minor scale https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/modes-of-the-harmonic-minor-scale ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Secrets of outside playing https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/secrets-of-outside-playing ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Superimpose Pentatonic scales https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/superimpose-pentatonic-scales-for-rock-fusion-and-jazz ----------------------------- E-BOOK - Traids and inversions for Guitar https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/triads-and-inversions-for-guitar-easy-to-advanced ----------------------------- Crystal Clear E-BOOKS with audio files: https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/ PATREON: Supporting material can be found here: http://www.patreon.com/Qjamtracks ----------------------------- You can support me on my patreon page (also for tabs of the licks played in this video): www.patreon.com/QJamTracks Artwork: (c) 2021) Rob van Hal Used: Strandberg* Boden Prog NX (www.strandbergguitars.com) Ibanez JEM 7vb (www.Ibanez.com) Ibanez SD GR Bass (www.Ibanez.com) Takamine GD930 (www.takamine.com) Castilla Classical Guitars Oktave MK-012 microphone Axe FX II (www.fractalaudio.com) Neural DSP plugins (www.neuraldsp.com/) Fireface UCXII audio interface (www.rme-audio.de) Sony FX30 Sigma Contemporary 30mm F1.4 Aperture Studio Lights Godox Softboxes Social Media/contact: www.patreon.com/QJamTracks www.facebook.com/QJamTracks www.instagram.com/QJamTracks www.youtube.com/QJamTracks (c)2023 Rob van Hal, Netherlands Subjects in this video: Harmonic minor scale, Modes of the harmonic minor scale, Ionian b6, Dorian b5, Phrygian b4, Phrygian b11, Lydian b3, Lydian #2 #5, Lydian augmented #2, Melodic minor #4, Mixolydian b2, Locrian bb7, Locrian diminished, Fusion guitar, Jazz guitar, Arpeggios for Guitar, m7b5 arpeggio, maj7#5 arpeggio, |
