dude that "etude" at the end, one of the most awesome pieces ive ever heard rick. straight the fuck up dude, epic, beautiful, and soooooooooooo brutal i think a single tear of blood crept from the corner of my eye. youre an amazing musician and incredibly well versed in the ways of the force......as it were. thank u for all u do. youve become the most watched channel on my web browser. ive learned so much from you in the last 6 months just from watchin ur vids. thank you so much. im poor, and i live in jersey, but im totally gonna donate/buy when i eventually have some money. i wish i could support you now, but life sux like that sometimes, and if its any consolation, at least know that you have helped further my studies and im growing more adept every day. ive been playin music for almost 30 years and youre the first guy since my teacher to really show me something worthwhile. i cant thank you enough for makin all these vids and what you give to us. i spread ur name like wild fire round my parts, and i cant speak highly enough about you. thank you again rick, youre truly a scholar amongst gentlemen. be well sir and i will continue to faithfully nerd out on ur vids relentlessly !!!! thanx again

🤔 huh… Wasn’t aware of triads like Lydian, Phrygian etc. I know the scales but triads?! Interesting… Appreciate you Rick! So grateful for this channel. 🙏🏾

30 years later. And I still crack open The Guitar Grimoire. Harmonic minor is great. I really find it useful for building chord progressions.

I love that piece at the end with the clip. Went together perfectly.

The walk through the triads early in the video is probably going to be the most dramatic time of my day today.

Very useful video and great music at the end. Cheers from a metal guitarist player ;-)

this is one of the best pieces you've put together at the end of any video This fast half step technique done right could make for an awesome fast electronic part

Incredible composition and virtuoso level playing at the end. You are one of my favorites as you make learning easy. Help the pieces fit together better the way you explain it. Thank you.

Thanks again Rick you pull through every single time you're the only person who has useful information on anything music related. I mean that is an exaggeration but when I'm looking for things like this and nobody's got it but you

beautiful music end of the video. Great examples. This scale sound like eastern music feeling to me.

Some of those intervals gave me a Stravinsky vibe. Great lesson!

This is the most edifying video I've seen lately, you are so talented, sir!

Bravo Rick! As always, you are killing it with the etude!

Love it, I'm just learning the Harmonic Minor, and this helps a lot. The piece at the end was beautiful, sounded almost like a suspense movie soundtrack.

Thanks, Rick! Great new chords for me!!!! Some crazy and ALL in key (to the scale)!

You're videos are very useful, and they're giving me all kinds of ideas for chord progressions. I hope I'm able to purchase your e-book. Thanks.

Great video Rick! Could you do similar videos, i.e. modes in harmonic minor but with a guitar focus? I'd love to see how we could write solos over these chord progression. Also how we could form interesting arpeggio shapes over these chords.

Wow. I thought I had a grasp of this. Pfft... Thanks Rick! Humbled.

You're using some terminology that I've not seen around before to name triads. Like Lydian(1-#4-5) and Phrygian(1-b2-5) and Locrian(1-4-b5) [If I'm getting this right]?. Do you have any video that lists these names and the associated interval structures? I'm having difficulty following you, though I do love your lessons!

You'll need to watch his videos on those scales to see why he says that. Yeah it took me some time to understand that when he used the terminology, since I wasn't familiar, but it's a much easier way of saying it.

I think( I could be wrong?) that he is replacing the usual major or minor third of a given triad with the altered 4th or 2nd above or below the usual 3rd that is distinctive to the triad built from the tonic of the given mode of the moment.

My god. The etude at the end is beautiful

I'm a metal musician and your Video is awesome teaching me some skills in the minor scales! 💪👍

nothing short of awesome!

cool lesson and i think a good intro to your longer lesson " Hidden Sounds of the Harmonic Minor Scale" .. . i always smile when the harmonic minor is referred to the "Heavy metal scale" ... Django reinhardt used it as lot in his Improvisations & the modern Gypsy manouche Jazz players use it all the time.

Mungo Perkins I think it's kind of a gypsy scale seeing that they use it all the time in flamenco also, but it also exists in the makam world as the kurdi scale... very much used in popular music too e.g. turkey, greece, arab world, iran, ...

Im learning a lot from your video's, thank you, and Godbless you

My absolute most favorite scale. Especially since I’m obsessed with Dracula and vampires.

This video help to explore one of my riffs, now i gonna try to construct sonthing, thanks for the lesson

ESTO ES MUCHO MAS QUE APRENDER LOS MODOS QUE GENERA LA ESCALA, INFINITAMENTE AGRADECIDO.

Epic! Thank you for this tutorial :)

Swedish and nordic folk music like Polska uses this scale quite often. When it's played in nordic time signatures it doesn't really sound that eastern. The intro of the song "Drive Home" by Steven Wilson featuring Guthrie Govan on guitar utilizes it in a way meant to sound typically Swedish.

For lead guitar (in Minor), I prefer Natural Minor 80% or 90% of the time with Harmonic Minor as a special treat, here and there.

Beautiful teaching Sir. I wish you could also put up an app/software displaying which notes and chords you are playing. Great video by the way

Great video Rick, thanks again for your work, and videos, I just was playing some japanese pentatonics, actually not sure if they are really japanese, i ve just heard that, talking about "hirajoshi" "kumoi" ? I really dont know their names but i think sounds really good, trying fingerings right now, wonder if you are thinking on make some video about that stuff, thanks a lot for your teachings and wisdom mister Beato

the etude was cooool!

Rick, your videos blow me away. I have the utmost admiration for your dedication to education (excuse the rhyme streak). Of course a lot of this is too advanced for me to follow with flair. I feel like I need to fully understand how you deconstruct the scale to build the chord progressions. Is there a video, or some resource out there that explains the logic of the chord progression you use for each scale/mode? E.G. why do we go from Cm to CSus4? Why could we not move the Eb in the Cm chord down to D to add the 9th? Thank you for all you do.

I am following this through. I write things out in spiral notebooks.. If I understand this right..the choices are not necessarily just the bare diatonic triads;(basically the minor and major thirds), but any included notes..I hope to get some writing/study time in today. PS I sometimes go back in my notes. I just started doing things like this a awhile back. We remember things we right down. I used to write things in elementary school. I will not talk in class while the teacher is talking..about 10 + times..I knew how to spell all that. It is not an accident that teachers do this. They use this as way to teach how to spell and make sentences. Writing out music is the same thing.

I love your Etudes demonstrating the modes and scales. Are you playing/recording those at tempo? You've got some serious chops if you are. The fast parts are particularly interesting and wonderfully musical and creative.

Ooh, B diminished 7, that's a chord to my heart!

Oi this guy is a mad lad teacher he's really easy to listen to and stay focused with

You can think of harmonic minor as a diminished 7th chord + an augmented triad and iv7b5 to i is also a cool resolution.

hi Rick I found this lesson fascinating I had no idea you can get this much out of the scale. I only know of the 7 triads and the 7 seventh chords. I have an original composition a the cha-cha in C minor. The A section is: Cmin7-A-7b5/ D-7b5-G7alt so I experiment with the triads in and the seventh chords of the C harmonic minor scale over this progression now I would like to try all these other possibilities from your video

Nice etude!

I would skip the étude at the end... it just shatters any kind of hope! 😆 Amazing, thk you!

Listening to this gave me a headache haha. Good info regardless! Song at end was great

Great video!!!! Have minor harmonic scale avoid notes? it's the same melodic minor theory about, avoid notes?

I love those old nerdy Rick videos

Thank you based jazz dad. It's nice to get a refresher on the only scale I need/use. Although I only play it in E and not C. Any plans to do a series on how to play like yngwie malmsteen? Also for that guy that shreds 2 guitars at once because that's pretty sweet. Pls respond.

It was like smelling a smell from my childhood... but it was hearing a sound from my childhood. So strange how these childhood experiences stick with our senses into adulthood.

I’m really lost on these triads, what why and so on. Any video on why these triads are found in scales and their significance and use?

I’m here because of french electronic music like Justice. I love this scale!

Hello Rick and the others ! first i want to thank you for all your videos and your advices , they are precious :) but i won't understand why you don't include the Isus2 triad (in this exemple in C harmonic minor it would be Csus2) in your harmonic minor harmonization ? The same question for Fsus2. I know they are inversions in the way that : Csus2 = Gsus4 and Fsus2= Csus4...anyway can you help me to understand ? thank you rick and hugs from France.

my head hurts a lot while processing all of this information from Rick Beato :(

Hi Rick, If you were to approach the Phrygian Dominant mode in the same manner, would the chords be very different, meaning are you just going over the same stuff you've just gone over ?

Base your song in B super locrian, (from C harmonic minor key) then go to C. For the chorus you can go and alternate between G phryg dominant and Eb (forgot mode name, I’m stupid). Sounds really killer.

Hello Rick! I have been trying to follow these lessons on the triads of the scales on the guitar, since that's my primary instrument and i do't play the piano. I've managed to find these unual shapes for lydian, phrydian and locrian, but they end up sounding too clustered and the notes are usualy too far from each other on the neck. Are there some practica voicings for these on the guitar? thanks!

The Beato book contains every guitar shapes for every triads, plus the 3.0 version is out and you can find coupon in Beato's videos and live stream

I always find your videos very interesting but at the same time, coming from a classical background, when you explain chords like G Phrigian, D Locrian, etc. triads, I am totally confused of why do you call them that way and why... Cheers, Max T.

damn that etude was awesome we need some sheet music for it

mode of "Everything in its right place"? I believe he goes from C to DbM7 so would that be Phrygian.

how can i get a transcription of the etude?

Is there some algorithmic or automatic way to generate this collection of chords from the scale? Or are these chords just a curated list of Rick's faves?

@Ronno4691

sneakyimp He's harmonising the Harmonic Minor scale by turning each note into a chord, or triad. You'd have to be a fairly good piano player to do that with scales. Diatonic Harmony, I think it's called. If your song is in C then you have a bunch of chord shapes for the rhythm guitarist (or keyboard player) to call on for making up a chord sequence. Circle of 5ths, etc.... Why not take up piano yourself? It's worth it :-D

railcar123 Hi, he is building triads in two ways. Firstly, you take the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes if the scale, I.e. You miss out every other note. So, 1 is C, 3 is Eb, 5 is G, which gives you Cminor. You can apply this to any scale or mode to generate triads and you can start on any degree (note) of the scale. The 2nd way he generates them is, where possible he raises the 3rd of to create Lydian /sus chords etc. So, In stead of 135 it's 145 so CFG which is C sus4. Hope that helps. Try it for yourself on a piano and maybe do it all in a major first then do it in C harmonic minor.

Can I sample the chords for an animation project?

I almost have this figured out, but what is that interval being played with the left hand while Rick is moving through the chords? It never changes... how can both of those notes be in every chord? If it were just a pedal tone, fine.. but it’s an interval..

what is this awesome hmm little "etude' at the end? did you play this yourself Rick? You r also a ff virtuoso piano player?? :-()))

Which keyboard model is that ?

Harmonic minor is also heavily used in Cuban music.

Hey hey mr. Rick. Im ur big fan from Russia, so sorry for my bad english... I have a question, so help plz... I thought that all scales on their degrees has a function... For example C major - 1(C) tonic- 2(Dminor) subdominant - 3(Eminor) tonic (substitution from 3rd),, or E7 dominant to Aminor - 4 Fmajor - subdominant, 5 - Gmajor(7) - dominant, 6 - Aminor - tonic,, 7- Bdim - dominant... So my question is .... In harmonic minor degrees of scale save their functions exectly like in my example, or not?

Jacob Born Well scales are in fact harmony but only played in a linear fashion...so you can actually use the characteristic notes of a mode and stack them on top of one another and you get a modal chord...like I said...harmony and melody are one. For example...you can imply a Phrygian harmony by playing something like a susb9 chord...root-b9-fourth-fifth-seventh...the same principle applies to other modal chords Rick's been talking about.

How is G different? Why has it 3 chords (triad, sus2, sus4), while D, E, F has only two (triad and sus4)?

I think it's because of the fact that this scale is supposed to be harmonic, and so, the V chord is more versatile in this context. I don't know, that's what I think.

Because the sus2 of D, E and F don’t exist in C Harmonic Minor. Those would be “out” notes..

Nice video although I do not understand why you are playing C while demonstrating the 3ds and the 7th chords. E.g. harmonically speaking, I have never seen G7/C in the key of C minor being played since it does not resolve nicely in the sense that the bass does not move. But I guess I miss something maybe.. :/ Still, another extremely useful video!

Which way is limited exactly? There are many ways to think about it. Modal way is the one I describe above. As a classical musician I do not usually think like this and this is the reason of my first comment in the first place. It is not just sharing "some" notes. There are specific notes that must be shared in order not to sound "within some boundaries" wrong. I have always been thinking in terms of a key and not modally because I always find it more "reasonable" to move around a key. Having studied counterpoint this is what you actually do. In jazz people think modally but I don't find it necessary. In any case, I think that for someone who wants to understand modal placement the way I describe it is more or less precise.

Harmonic minor sounds fantastical dark classical. Why wouldn't metal players employ this. I find it odd that you scoff at this.
