1. Intro - Harmonic Minor Scale: Playing the piano
to be challenging, especially with audio
distractions in life, work, family, education. But have you always had that
burning desire to learn? You may have started the
Lessons when you were the kid. But I didn't finish to
a point that you felt confident to play by
yourself or play for others. Or maybe overtime the excuses of powder on as to why
you can't learn now, I'm too old, I'm too busy. It's too late. However, this does not
have to be the case. Hi, my name is Eric. I'm upcountry to ****
face skillfully. As a Piano educator
and musician, I aimed to help all
my students learn the piano and simplified
way that they can understand and grasp
will also help with all my shoes to achieve their goals at their own pace. But also if confidence that
they know what they're doing after they
finished the Lessons, it must Skillshare lessons. I will be breaking down all the essential
parts of London, the piano, the codes, the scales, chord
progressions, songs, styles of music,
rhythm, music theory. All this will be found
in all my courses to help you become a
confident musician. So why are you waiting for
our loved to have your, my course and guide you through the process and help you to become them position that
you've always wanted to be. In this course, I'm
going to be showing you the Harmonic Minor Scale. And if you have not already, I would love for you to
check out my natural minor scale course before come to this Harmonic Minor Scale as they're all linked together, I will be showing
you how to play the Harmonic Minor
Scale in all 12 keys. Alright, so this will
be in a Right Hand, Left Hand and both
hands put together. I will also be showing you songs that have
this scale in them. So you get familiar with
the standard this scale. So guys, I look forward to
having you on this course and I hope to see you all rosy
2. A Minor Harmonic Intro: So we're not going to look
Harmonic minor scales. And our very first
Harmonic scales that a minor harm when it scale. In this scale, we only
changed one note, which the G to G sharp
I should can see. Alright, so I'm gonna
show you this next.
3. Am - (Harmonic) Right Hand : For the Harmonic Minor Scale, similar to the a natural Minor, but now we're adding a
sharp know a black note, which is gonna be
G sharp, Right? So G-sharp is to black
node in the middle of the free black notes, Right? So G-sharp in the middle
of the free black notes. So it goes like this
in the Right Hand, going forward and backwards. You note. So that's his how the
a Minor Harmonic scale goes and that's what
we're going to achieve. But in this lesson. So to play this scale,
same as before. Same thing, grandniece
123 go under one. Free. But now you for finger
will play the new node, which is the G-sharp note. Repeat the whole
predicated on free. But now you finger will land
on the heel. Go backwards. For finger always
on the tea shops. Basically how we play
that a Harmonic minor. So all we're essentially doing is changing
OneNote in this scale. But go with changing this
genome to be a G-sharp, alright, and then g's canceled, and now we're playing
D-Sharp instead. So now dry me without know
metronome off the fall 1234. Let's play this
now for Mexicano. One to free, full, free and again, and that is it. Have a guy, this one, we're Connect going
forward and back quotes then dry me
for the Left Hand
4. Am - (Harmonic) Left Hand : Every exactly the same. But now, as you pay this scale, our second finger will be
hitting the G-sharp note. Alright, so watch my fingers as I go up and down this scale. So exactly the same thing. The only differences is that
our second finger now hits the G-sharp note rather
than the full finger, as it wasn't in the right hand. So welcome back the metronome first Intro me at
this point here. Alright. So one to free fall. Free fall. And there we have it guys. So that is how he played
this guilt in our Left Hand. So what you are able to play the right-hand and
left-hand separately, then join me next to
put them both together.
5. Am - (Harmonic) Both Hands : Let's put it altogether now. But the Left Hand
and Right Hand saw play it first without
know metronome, you can draw me now. And we can play together
again with the metronome off the for one, T, free. For hope you've got that now. So let's put that
altogether with the metronome off the 41234234. So Guy, just remember
that in the Left Hand. Second finger, G-sharp
in the Right Hand, the forefinger H to G sharp. At all times. It's
got one more time. 1234234. Excellent. So next up, we're
going to be looking at the melodic minor scale. So I'll see you next.
6. E Minor Harmonic Intro: In the E Harmonic Minor Scale, we add the D sharp. So now it's gone
from D to D-sharp. That's like a new black notes
7. Em - (Harmonic) Right Hand : Now going to call E
harmonic minor scale. So will the notes
are the same as the natural scale apart from, we have to D-sharp note
that way I did on. Alright, so fingering
is all the same song, a plate F0 first, then I'll break it down
to SRE afterwards. So it goes like this. Alright, so let me break
this down for you. So it goes like this. It goes 123, go under
to the a, the farm. Keep going. Now go to the
D-Sharp note that's on, you know, keep going. Repeat the same pattern and all your five fingers
now. Go backwards. Will five fingers over
the firm, over the farm. And lastly, FRD over the phone. And that's how we basically
E Minor Harmonic scale going forward and backwards. Once you've got that, then join me now with the metronome. Off the fall 1234. So next up, we're
looking at our Left Hand
8. Em - (Harmonic) Left Hand : To get straight into this,
am I break it down for you straight away as
we play this scale. So all five fingers going up. Other via the farm, go to the new note,
which is the D-sharp. But the second thing got
full finger over the farm. Then said finger over the phone. And there. All right. And going backwards, free, go under under the F
sharp with the farm. Second thing where like D-sharp. Thank keyguard. If Sharp. Alright, so that's
basically how we play the E Harmonic Minor in our Left Hand and all the same
fingering as you can see. So now it's played with the
metronome off the 41234. And that is it guys. So next up, I'll be showing you how
to play in Both Hands.
9. Em - (Harmonic) Both Hands : Songs you cave playing the natural minor
scale in both hands. You should be fine with this. Bunks always going to
add is the D sharp node. Okay? So I'm going to get straight into this
on a plate first, then we'll play with the
metronome afterwards. So like this. In
your right hand, left hand. Your right hand? Left hand with the forefinger. On Daniel, Right Hand. Other thing, you Left Hand. Go under in your left-hand. Both. Who share your right hand? On the left hand? Right hand. On the left-hand
side in your right hand. Just like that, guys. Alright, so what can that, and then let's pull it
together with the metronome. 123. Go. So yes, working your left hand, right hand and then aimed
to put it altogether. But play I paste that you
feel comfortable, okay, this is metronomes speed is
too fast to slow down a bit. Or if it's too slow to speak up and challenge
yourself as well. Alright, so I'll see you soon.
10. B Minor Harmonic Intro: For the be Harmonic Minor Scale on new black note
will be a sharp. You can see love sharing this
11. Bm - (Harmonic) Right Hand : Be Minor Harmonic scale
on new black note, he's gonna be the
A-Sharp as mentioned. So it goes like this. Yeah, that's, that's
the whole scale. So now play along with
me as I break it down. Alright, so it's pretty
simple just because this one under the E, Keep going up. That new black note,
which is the A-Sharp. Keep going. Yep, that's it. Going forwards and backwards. Finger over. For finger over. Mostly for finger over to the D. And that's how you
play in the right hand. So let's play this now
with the metronome. So welcome, not going
forward and backwards and then join me with the
metronome afterwards. 12341234. She 34
12. Bm - (Harmonic) Left Hand : Tab, we start with
the forefinger, as we've done with
the natural minor. So it's for free. She wants for finger
over F sharp. Confessing, go over for finger over that one more time. It's for free. Once for finger over. Three, such thing go over yet
and I'm backwards, it's 1, 2, 3 4, 1 3 1 2 3 4, 1 2, 3 4. And then the full
finger, just like that. Okay. So what can that and let's do it for in the
backwards with the metronome. Off the fall 1234. That's how you play
the B Harmonic combine knocking, go Left Hand. So now let's put it altogether
or next in Both Hands.
13. Bm - (Harmonic) Both Hands : Alright, so let's piece
together now guys. Alright, let do it
nice and slow that no metronome and I'll break it down some as I play six play along with me at
this point as well. So firms and firm for, for finger on your left hand, on the B and from on the
be in your Right Hand. Slow. Undying your right hand to the E for finger over and your
left hand to the F sharp. From underneath in
your Right Hand. Searching. Go over to this C-Sharp
in your Left Hand. Can you Right Hand? B and E, sorry. For finger over your left
hand. For the F sharp. Yep. And that's going
forwards. Yet to work on that. And once you've got that,
then go back goods. So then back chords
is like this. Go back under in your
left hand to the E, over your right hand
to the D. Under in your left hand to the be for finger over to a
sharp your Right Hand. And out with the farming
your left hand on the EA over the Fed
finger onto the D. Completes it. Just like that. So just work on that and then try me as he played
with the metronome, come forward and
backwards without stopping off the 41234. She three and again, free. Right. And that's how you
play the B Minor. How many Scale?
14. F# Minor Harmonic Intro: So for the F-sharp
Harmonic scale, we're going to be playing the E sharp know
as our new notes. So just to note that E-sharp is exactly the same as the
F know that FY notes. Alright, so no difference,
it's just a different name. So I will be showing
you this scale
15. F#m - (Harmonic) Right Hand : Okay guys, so for the F
sharp Harmonic Minor, the only difference
between this scale and the natural minor is that
we're changing the F to E. No. Okay. So F no longer
exists in this scale. So it goes like this. And there we have it. That's, that's how it goes. Alright, so it's pretty straightforward,
as I said before, one thing that's changing
is the F to the E, sorry, the E to F
for this scale. Alright, so now let's
place with a metronome. And you can play it
by yourself first before joining me
with the metronome. Off the full 123, full. There we go guys. So
that's how we plot F sharp Harmonic Minor
in our Right Hand. So next up, we're
looking at Left Hand
16. F#m - (Harmonic) Left Hand : So Left Hand, same fingering
as the F natural minor. And as mentioned, we
didn't go playing E, but we're playing F Now. It's in a place for you
going forward and backwards then will pave the metronome
straight afterwards. So it goes like this. So this now play with
the metronome 123. Go, Right. What time? Alright, so what you can do your
left-hand and right-hand. Good. Than dry me as we put
both hands together. Next
17. F#m - (Harmonic) Both Hands : The type forward and
backwards first, seek watch my fingers
or you can dry me. Then we'll play with a
metronome afterwards. So now there's play with
the metronome, 12, free go. And that's how you play
the F sharp Harmonic Minor in Both Hands.
18. C# Minor Harmonic Intro: In the C-sharp Harmonic scale, we have a new note,
which is B-sharp. So just to note, the
B-sharp note is exactly the same as C, as you can see. Be showing you this next
19. C#m - (Harmonic) Right Hand : First going to
demonstrate to you to D-flat Harmonic Minor
and the Right Hand, then I'll break it down to next. Right? So say play the
D flat Harmonic Minor in the Left, Right Hand. So this scale will be pretty
simple for you if you already know that D flat
natural minor scale. The reason why is because all
you're changing is OneNote. So instead of playing a B note, you're playing C instead. Alright, so you can skip
the B and play C instead. So play, feel nice and slow. And watch my fingers. Same fingering as well. Natural Minor from underneath. So now soap stead
of playing the B, we skip and go to the see. We keep going up four
fingers from underneath. On the farm. See. We ended the foot finger on the D flats are unpaid one
more times going forwards. So you can play along
if you will know that D flat natural minor, this fingering is exactly
the same, alright? Under blender again to the
a to C or the four fingers. Under under one more time. Down. Over 13, go finger over. And go over. One more time. Free to just like that. So now we're going to
play with a metronome. So I would like you to try me as I play with the metronome, okay, once you figured out
how to play this scale. But as I said before, as long as you know that D
flat natural minor scale, we need to do change
the be to the C note. So if you've skipped that scale, I would like you to go
back to that one first, then do this one afterwards because it will make more sense. Alright, so we're
gonna do this now with the metronome off the 41234. There we go, Guy. So
that's how you play the D flat Harmonic
Minor in our Right Hand. So next up, we're
looking at our Left Hand
20. C#m - (Harmonic) Left Hand : Scale. Only thing that's
changing is the be to the see, sort of fingering in the
Harmonic Minor is exactly as same as the natural minor
and the Left Hand as well. Now, I did not see notes. Alright, so I played
for you real quick. Swatch my fingers for finger. Going four, sorry. Blacklist. Second. The one more time. So it's free. It's the second
thing, three-finger for free. And that is how we basically
pay in the left hand. So what can I, and
then join me now with the metronome 123. Go. Welcome that for me and join me next as you
put both hands together
21. C#m - (Harmonic) Both Hands : So guys wouldn't get
straight into this. Now. I'm going to
play it one time through forward and
backwards in both hands. Demagnetize the
metronome afterwards. So you can even try me
or watch my fingers. Alright, so now let's take
the metronome 123 go. And that is how we
play the D flat Harmonic Minor in both hands. So just take your time
to work in this scale
22. G# Minor Harmonic Intro: So for the G-sharp
Harmonic Minor Scale on Nino is going to be G, or also known as F double sharp. You can see, I'm going
to show this to you next
23. G#m - (Harmonic) Right Hand : For G-sharp melodic Minor, the, you know that we've changed from the natural minor is
we're now playing a key instead of
the F sharp note. Alright? So I'm now
going to play it for you going forward
and backwards. You can draw me or you can just watch my fingers as
it go up and down. G Now, F sharp. Yep. So as long as
you know G-sharp, natural Minor, you'll be
fine with this scale. Alright? So if you
don't know too well, can always go back to the scale of key shop natural Minor. But that will help you
to play the scale, okay? Alright, so this pace, now with the metronome, right to the fingerings all the same in the right-hand
and left-hand. 123. Go. So what can I and then join
me for the Left Hand?
24. G#m - (Harmonic) Left Hand : Guys, so for the Left Hand and the play going forward
and backwards, because we already
know the notes and the fingering is exactly the
same as the natural minor. All right, so let's go. Alright, and that's how you
play that skill Left Hand. So now we're going to save
them off the fall 1234. And that's how you play
the scale in a Left Hand. So next up, we're
going to be looking at both hands together.
25. G#m - (Harmonic) Both Hands : First going to play
going forward and backwards so you
can see my fingers. And then we'll play with the
metronome create afterwards. Alright, so now we're
going to play with a metronome 123 go. That is how to pay G sharp
Harmonic Minor Scale
26. D# Minor Harmonic Intro: D sharp harmonic minus scale, our new note is going to be D, and I'll see you next
for our lesson. Okay.
27. D#m - (Harmonic) Right Hand : We're now looking at our
D-sharp Harmonic Minor Scale. So the only difference between
this scale and the D-Sharp natural Minor is that we're changing the C-sharp
note to Dino. Alright, so C-sharp no longer exists and there were
playing the notes. So no play it for
you. I'm forward and backwards then I'll break
it down to you afterwards. And that's how he play it to the fingering is all the same. But as I said before, the only difference is that we don't play the C-sharp no more. You play the D. Alright, so I'm play
nice and slow fee. So watch my fingers and we
can play along as well. Because as I said before, only one note that's changed. Nice and slow first. So watch me play them with me. All the same. Second figure
that goes to D, to C sharp. And repeat the
whole pattern them backwards. Over. And day we have it.
So welcome back. No metronome and then dry
me now with the metronome. Okay. 123. Go. So there we have it Guy. So next up we're going to be
looking at our Left Hand, The D-sharp Minor Harmonic
28. D#m - (Harmonic) Left Hand : For our Left Hand, same
fingering and the same, the less change
which is D. Alright, so this gets trained to this
guy picked nice and slow. You can try me or watch
me as I go up and down. Alright, so, so as long as you know the
D-Sharp natural Minor in the Left Hand, you will be filed with this. Because as I said before, well, I didn't because
as I said before, we're only changing
that OneNote, which is D. Alright, so it's tastes now with
a metronome 123, go. And that is it. So next up, we're going to be playing
this in Both Hands.
29. D#m - (Harmonic) Both Hands : Now we're gonna put
it all together. Alright, so I'm
gonna play up and down first without
know metronome. You can watch or
you can draw me. Then we'll play with the
metronome afterwards. Let's now do this
with the metronome. Off the fall 123 go. So that is how you
play a D-sharp Harmonic Minor Scale
input for Hands
30. A# Minor Harmonic Intro: For the B-flat Harmonic Minor
Scale on new notes is gone. I will demonstrate
these two mixed up
31. A#m - (Harmonic) Right Hand : So I will first
demonstrate to you that a sharp Harmonic Minor
in the Right Hand, and then I'll break
it down next. So for this scale, the only
node that has changed from the natural minor is the a
sharp is now a. Alright? So in a natural Minor, we played the A-Sharp. In a Harmonic Minor, we play the a note to
everyone else is exactly the same and the fingering
is exactly the same as well. So watch me as I play the F. Now we go to a whole
part in the game. Next to a GAN for finger
and go backwards. Just let that. All right, so if you
don't already know that a sharp natural minor scale, go back to that lesson, then come back to this one because it will all
make sense to you. Alright, but only differences
is that we're playing a instead of the G-sharp, A-sharp before. So G-sharp. Alright, so a instead of the G-sharp notes.
So welcome that. And then join me as I play
with a metronome now, 1234. And that's it guys. So next up, I'll be showing you the
Left Hand for this scale.
32. A#m - (Harmonic) Left Hand : For the Left Hand, as
I already mentioned, we're going to be playing
the a note is still instead of the G-sharp notes. Okay? Alright, so, um, it gets shortened
to this on a plate free onetime fruit up and down. And then we'll play
with the metronome. So you can watch my fingers or you can play along with me. So as long as you
know the natural minor scale in the Left Hand, the fingering is
exactly the same, and then those are
all the same apart from the anode. So I'm
going to start now. Alright, and that's
how we play it. Sica slowed down the
figure if you want to see where my fingers went to. But as I've mentioned
previously, the only thing that's changing
is that we're playing a instead of the G-sharp. So once you are ready
and you understand how to play this scale
in your Left Hand. Now, joining me with
the metronome 1234. And that's it guys. So next up, we'll be looking at how we put both hands together.
So I'll see you soon.
33. A#m - (Harmonic) Both Hands : Hey guys, So when
they put both hands together now for this scale, I'm going to go forward
and then backwards. Watch my fingers very carefully. I paint nice and slow for you. And then once you're ready, and once you understand
how to play in both hands going
forward and backwards, dry me with the metronome
on the Start now. So we start and end
on the same finger. Okay, So welcome that. Please don't just
jump straight in with the metronome plate, nice and slow, and then
draw me afterwards. So now I'm going to pave
the metronome off the fall, one, T free for. So that is how you play
the a sharp melodic minor
34. F Minor Harmonic Intro : So for the F Harmonic scale on new note is
going to be E. Now, show this scale mixed
35. Fm - (Harmonic) Right Hand : When it comes minor scale, the only node that
has changed is the D-sharp is no longer D-sharp, but now E in the F
harmonic minor scale. So I'm going to play
it for you first. I'll break it down afterwards. Alright, so let's
take this scale, pretty straightforward. So I will now break
this down for you. So if fingering goes
like this, it goes 1234, go under the for finger, one, surfing, grow and the E
free and go under gain. Then 1234, go under
one more time. 123. So the fingering
will be for free, 4.4, right thing going
backwards, It's 4321. Go over the full
finger for free. Fed finger over, then it's free to 1/1 more time with
the full finger. 432.1. Just like that. I can't
and that's the whole, and that's how we
play the whole scale. Alright, so platens, so I'm not going to play this
with a metronome. Okay. 123, full. Yep. So what can that for me and send this to Left Hand next?
36. Fm - (Harmonic) Left Hand : Fingering in the Left Hand
is going to be 54321. There we go over three to one than the full
finger over 4321. Then finally, free to what? I'll do that one more time. So it goes like this, 543212/3 to one for finger over. The first thing, go over. Finger backwards. Go under the farm. Go under the full
finger of the firm. Then go under the third
finger with the farm. Ended right there. So welcome that Scale for me. In your Left Hand and
in the Right Hand. And then we'll put up
with together next
37. Fm - (Harmonic) Both Hands : So the fingering is exactly the same as the F-major scale. Alright, so where
the left-hand and right-hand down a
little bit different. But a finger changes are the
same as the major scale. So as long as you know, F-major scale, which you should, by now, you should get paid
this scale pretty well with the
current fingerings. Okay, so I'm first going
forward and then backwards. And then we're going to do
with the metronome afterwards. On your right hand. Over your Left Hand. Over with your Left Hand. And in your right hand? Left hand. On the left-hand. Go under in your Left Hand. Over your right hand. On the Left Hand. Then. Just like that. So once you're able to do
this in Both Hand, thin dry me with the
metronome off the full 1234. So what can these guys in your hands separately
and together?
38. C Minor Harmonic Intro : So for the C harmonic
minor scale, we haven't been,
as I'm, you know?
39. Cm - (Harmonic) Right Hand : Now going to look
at our C Harmonic Minor Scale in our Right Hand. So the only difference between the C natural minor scale and
a C harmonic minor scale. So difference between the
C natural minor scale and a C harmonic minor scale is that a B-Flat has
now turned to be. So now we cancel out the
B-flat and we pay be instead. So let's play it for you now
going forward and backwards, and then we'll play it
together afterwards. Guys, how we play it. So as you can see, it's very
straightforward. The fingering exactly the same as the C
natural minor scale. But as I mentioned before, the beef that has now turned to be nice and slow. So
watch my fingers. I can play along if
you want to as well. So it's gonna be one, undock with a firm to the F. Now skip the B-flat and
go to be before for finger. And perform underneath the for finger. And repeat
the same time. Under by Lu from the
mountains on the seat. Just like that. Okay.
Then going backwards, it's gonna be five for one such finger
over to the E-flat. For finger over to the be. It's not going backwards.
It goes like this. It's not going backwards.
It's gonna be five. Not going backwards.
It's gonna be five. For one such finger
over to the E-flat. For finger over the farm to the be such and go over
to the E-flat. Do we end off just like that? That's how he plays. So practice that one by yourself and
then join me now with the metronome off
the floor, 1234. And that's how you pay to see Minor Harmonic scale
in our Right Hand. So next up, let me
show you the Left Hand
40. Cm - (Harmonic) Left Hand : Left Hand. Again,
all the fingering is exactly the same
as C natural minor, and we're just changing
the B-flat to the B. So now play onetime fruit
gone forward and backwards. Then we'll play with a
metronome straight afterwards. Alright, so it goes like this. Over to the A-Flat
finger, over to the D. To repeat the same pattern
again, 321 on that. See, there we go backwards. Three under under the D to C on the wall, time for finger. So it goes like this. Over
the farm to the A-Flat. That goes onto the D is
equal to asap backwards. Under the farm. The farm again off to the D, on the farm, off to the eighth. And that is it guys. So welcome that. Practice that by yourself
and then join me now with the metronome 123, go F3 and F4. So that is how we play that see Harmonic Minor
and our Left Hand. So working your right hand, they're working your left hand. Make sure you are
familiar with the changes in both hands and then join
me for the next lesson. We put both hands together
41. Cm - (Harmonic) Both Hand : Now going to put
both hands together. So as long as you are the
C natural minor scale, this scale will be fine for you. All the fingering is the
same as I mentioned before. The only thing that's changed is the B-flat is now turned to be something to pay a onetime through going forward
and then backwards. You can choose to join me. I just watch my fingers and
then do it by yourself. But yeah, I'm gonna
pay right now. So again, again. Alright, so that's
how we play it. If you want you to slow down, if we go to see my fingers. But as I mentioned before, as long as you know your
C natural minor scale, this scale will be easy
as long as he's changed. As long as you
remember to change the B-flat to the
B, you'll be fine. So guys, we're now going to play the metronome once you're
ready to play around with me. After 41234. And as how he played
a C Harmonic Minor in both hands put together. So you can attempt to play this, go as slow tempo or challenge yourself and
play our father tempo. Once you feel comfortable
playing this scale,
42. G Minor Harmonic Intro : She Harmonic minor, F-sharp
as its new shoe. This next up
43. Gm - (Harmonic) Right Hand : Left Hand, all the fingering
is exactly the same. So in a plate free now going
forward and backwards. And then we're
going to play with the metronome straight
away because we already know that one note that's
changed is the F to F-sharp. Alright, so I'm going
to play for you now. Second finger,
that's an F sharp. So welcome that for me. As I said earlier, ordinates
are exactly the same, just to F has turned to F sharp. So we're now going to
play with the metronome. So once you're ready,
join me. 1234. And they will help guide. That's how he played
in the left hand. So next, we will put
both hands together
44. Gm - (Harmonic) Left Hand : So for the G harmonic minor, that's changed from the G
natural minor is the F. Now, F has turned to F sharp. That's the only
difference between the natural minor in
the Harmonic Minor. And then demonstrate
to you first, then I'll break it down
afterwards in the Right Hand. And that is how
the scale sounds. So as I said before, all we're changing is that F, the F sharp I played
now be competitive. So say like natural
Minor, we get here. Well, I didn't go into the F, B, go to the F sharp for finger. Continue on for finger
and the F sharp again. All right. Yeah, that's it. So all the fingering
is exactly the same as the G natural minor. So once you practice that, I would like you
to dry me now with the metronome off to 41234. And as you guys so next up, we're going to be
looking at I Left Hand for the Harmonic Minor
45. Gm - (Harmonic) Both Hands : We're now going to put
both hands together. So watch me play it first, going forward and backwards, and then you can
join afterwards. So as long as you know your
G natural minor scale, this goal be easy
because all we're changing this the F to F-sharp and all the fingering is exactly same as the G
natural minor scale, or acts on a plate for you now, go forward and backwards. Then we'll play with a
metronome afterwards. And that is it, less. So now, once you're ready, once you've practiced it
without the metronome, then dry me as I play
with the metronome now. 123, go. Alright, and that's
how he played a G harmonic minor
in Both Hands.
46. D Minor Harmonic Intro : The D harmonic
minor has C-Sharp, I just knew note, as you can see now will be
showing this next
47. Dm - (Harmonic) Right Hand : There we have it. So
to play this scale, we use an older same fingering as the D natural minor scale. So it's gonna be 1 2 3, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 and
1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So to play it, we
pour from an a, D, go under third finger, one, to break Mexico to the
C-sharp with the full finger. Under, to the D.
Same pattern again. Under five fingers. Not going backwards be used or five fingers would weigh down. Fat finger over the fam
for finger over the farm, then first finger
over the phone. And that is it. So practice it going forward and backwards and then
join me as I play with the metronome right
now off the fall 1234. And that's just
how we play the D harmonic minor scale
in our Right Hand. So next up, I'll show
you the Left Hand
48. Dm - (Harmonic) Left Hand: Left page the same fingering
as the D natural minor. So it's gonna be
54 321-321-4321, and then free to one again. Alright. So I'm a
plate for you now. I'll break it down
to you afterwards. So let me write this down free. So all five fingers going up, finger over finger
over the farm. Assessing got over the phone. Yes. What can that and
then going backwards, it's gonna be 123,
go up the farm. 1234, go under with
the firm again. 123 and then all five
fingers going back. Just like that. Hug
that is clear for you. So now this Titus was the metronome off to
fall 12, free, go. And that's how you play the D Harmonic Minor
in our Left Hand. So what can that going forward
and backwards and whites, you can do your Left
Hand, annuli Hand, then dreamy next as I
put both hands together
49. Dm - (Harmonic) Both Hands: Both hands together. Just take note off
the to black notes. We've got a playwright, the
B-flat and the C-sharp note, or ABA order fingering
is exactly the same as when you're playing
a D natural minor. So it's pretty straightforward. So I paid for you nice and slow. You can join me or you can
watch me at this point. Okay. So after for our
counties time, 1234 and they have it you can slow it down and see what
my fingers are doing. Okay, but I'm gonna break
it down for you now. Play slow and break
it down for you. So 123, go under Right Hand. Go over with your fat
finger in your left hand. Under the farm in
your Right Hand? For finger in the left hand. Under your right
hand, your thumb. Then over Left Hand. The first thing go backwards. Under with your families, you're forming your left hand side finger in your Right Hand. Over up, you're going to
F went to the wrong note. Under with the farm
in your Left Hand. Over with the fourth
in your Right Hand. Can go under with your
farm in your Left Hand. Over with the first thing
got in your Right Hand. And that is it guys, playing the D Harmonic Minor
in Both Hands?
50. Reviewing songs in the Harmonic Minor (Bad Guy): Saw very first song
is by arthroscopy, the Eilish and the song,
it's good, Bad Guy. And isn't a key of
G harmonic minor. So why would like
you to do is play the G harmonic minor scale over this song as I play
it to you after this. So you get an idea
of how this scale works with the song as well. So have a go at playing
this scale over this song and see how

52. Reviewing songs in the Harmonic Minor (Back to black): This next song is from an
artist called a new Wine House, and the song is

too hard for you, and I hope you're
now able to play them all 12 keys bigger, struggling to play any of these scales in any of the keys. Go back and keep practicing. Alright, next up, I would
love for you to now try the melodic minor scale. And that'll be the completion of all the minor scales go
