Added 2019-04-28 01:11:14 +0000 UTC

This guitar lessons shows how you can take 7th chords in the key of A minor and change them to A harmonic minor.

Here are the chords in the key of A minor plus the notes found within those chords:

Am7 = A C E G
Bm7b5 = B D F A
Cmaj7 = C E G B
Dm7 = D F A C
Em7 = E G B D
Fmaj7 = F A C E
G7 = G B D A

Here are the chords in the key of A minor plus the notes found within those chords:

Am (Maj7) = A C E G#
Bm7b5 = B D F A
Cmaj7#5 = C E G# B
Dm7 = D F A C
E7 = E G# B D
Fmaj7 = F A C E
G#dim7 = G# B D A

Basically, any chord in the key of A natural minor that contains a G will be changed when converting everything to A harmonic minor. All the G notes need to be changed to G#

A natural minor contains a G natural note, and A harmonic minor contains a G#. This is the ONLY difference between those two keys/scales.

Attached is a GP6 file and PDF that has the chords shown in the video, plus arpeggios tabbed out that were talked about in the video, as well as 4 additional 7th chords found in a harmonic minor that are not talked about in the video.

Also attached are chord formula explanations for triads and 7th chords to help give an even better understanding of what this video lesson discussed.
