The key signature for the harmonic minor is the same as for the natural minor with accidentals used to notate wherever the major 7th occurs. Natural minor intervals = R-M2-m3-P4-P5-m6- m7 Harmonic minor intervals = R-M2-m3-P4-P5-m6- M7ĭ Natural minor notes = D-E-F-G-A-B♭- C D Harmonic minor notes = D-E-F-G-A-B♭- C# You could also notate that as m3 for minor 3rd or W+1/2 for a whole step plus a half step. The “A2” is for the augmented 2nd interval between the 6th & 7th sale degrees. Hopefully, you know that “W” stands for whole step and “H” for half step. Natural minor scale formula = W-H-W-W-H-W-W Harmonic minor scale formula = W-H-W-W-H-A2-H Here is a comparison of the of the two scales: Make sure to read my Music Intervals article if you are not familiar with intervals. D natural minor is the relative minor of F major and you use it to build the harmonic minor scale on the note D. The harmonic minor scale differs from the natural minor by one note – the 7th scale degree.
Finally, I give my opinion on the chords to use in writing a song in D harmonic minor. I cover the harmonic minor scale in general and cover all 52 chords that can be built from the D harmonic minor scale. The D harmonic minor scale is a good minor key to start with because 5 of the open strings in standard tuning are in the key. Writing music in a minor key is not an easy thing for most beginner guitar players.
