Harmonic Minor Chord Scale in Every Key – Audio & Tabs
What is Harmonic Minor Chord Scale?
To form a harmonic minor chord scale, we use the notes of the harmonic minor scale to build chords using a specific formula. Harmonic Minor has a distinct sound due to the raised seventh degree of the scale, which is a half step higher than the natural minor scale. The formula for building chords from the harmonic minor scale is as follows:
i - ii(dim) - III+ - iv - V - VI - vii(dim)
Where:
- i represents the tonic chord, which is a minor triad built on the first note of the scale
- ii(dim) represents a diminished triad built on the second note of the scale
- III+ represents an augmented triad built on the third note of the scale
- iv represents a minor triad built on the fourth note of the scale
- V represents a major triad built on the fifth note of the scale
- VI represents a major triad built on the sixth note of the scale
- vii(dim) represents a diminished triad built on the seventh note of the scale
For example, if we were to build a harmonic minor chord scale starting on A, we would have the following chords:
A minor - B diminished - C augmented - D minor - E major - F major - G# diminished - A minor
