Songs that use the Harmonic Minor scale
The harmonic minor scale is one of the three main minor scales. Its greatest quality is that it allows us to write functional harmony, even though we're not in the major key anymore! The harmonic minor may only be one note different than the natural minor (also known as the 'aeolian mode') but that raised 7th note makes all the difference to how this scale sounds and how it can be used in practice.
An extra special thanks goes to Vidad Flowers, Daniel Long, Bruce Mount, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇

📍NOTE: Many people have commented that at 1:15 I call the interval between the 6th and 7th degree of Harmonic minor a “minor third” rather than an “Aug 2nd”. I understand why strictly speaking “Aug 2nd” is the correct name for that interval however, I thought using that name would unnecessarily add confusion for people who aren’t familiar with the difference between a ‘minor 3rd’ and a ‘aug 2nd’. That said, perhaps I should have put an on-screen annotation acknowledging the ‘aug 2nd’ at 1:15.

Now I know why Bury a Friends sounds so, brilliant. I knew there was some kind of tension in the chord progression and harmonics but I couldn't figure out why.
A new example- If i'm not mistaken, much of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto uses the C harmonic minor scale. It uses G major chords instead of G minor. The melody uses both B-flats and B naturals.

I think they key to understanding how The Beatles used "Modes" without understanding what modes were is that they simply used chords that were outside of the actual Major/Minor keys and they used notes in those chords. I actually find it easier to think of "modes" in this way myself, I just experiment with different chords and if the melody in those chords work I use them
Wow, just wow. I’m a complete novice when it comes to music theory, but you have just helped me reach a critical understanding of how some music is written. I’ve never had the functions of Tonic, sub-dominant & dominant chords in a scale explained to me in such a digestible way. I honestly just play guitar for a hobby but I’m amazed how suddenly, years of trying to understand music theory has just clicked. Thank you so much for your videos. They are an endless source of music knowledge I am slowly piecing together. Honestly, just had a eureka moment 💡
Deep Purple's Jon Lord almost always uses the harmonic minor scale in his organ solos. It gives it a Arabic sound to it and they're very emotional and beautiful. He was such a great keyboard player>

Fellow bandmate Ritchie Blackmore also used it many many times (Stargazer, Gates of Babylon, Eyes of Fire).
Unless I missed something, it's interesting that most of the examples (safe for the final guitar note in Plug-in Baby) tend to approach the harmonic minor as a semitone "dip" from the root, instead of approaching the root from below to accentuate the three semitone jump.
@DavidBennettPiano

'Girl' approaches it from below, but I do see what you mean. Resolving up from the 7th note to the 8th note is so satisfying a resolution that I guess that is why it appears in melodies so often
@LoganAlbright73

When approached from below, the sixth degree of the scale is traditionally raised as well to prevent the awkward leap of an augmented second. I think the distinction between harmonic, melodic, and natural minor is somewhat misleading. Classical composers would have regarded it as simply “minor” with alterations added to the sixth and seventh degrees as needed to produce a dominant cadence.

Good question. Generally, when I think of a topic I want to cover, I will find a way to do it! However, the two most common setbacks are (a) lack of research and (b) copyright strikes! As for research... some topics I find hard to explain (like the recent 'Polyrhythm' video). It can takes me weeks and weeks to research and write a script that I'm happy with... often because that particular topic is pushing the limits of my own knowledge! As for copyright... if I want to talk about a song, I need to find a way to recreate it in a way that can get past the copyright content ID system. You may have noticed that all of the songs in this video were either isolated vocals set to my own piano playing or a live version. If I can't think of a good way to recreate a song that I want to talk about, I can't really talk about it!

A technical point which admittedly doesn’t typically matter much in the real world, but I think it’s worth at least a mention in any discussion of the harmonic minor scale. And speaking of that interval, it occurs in the very last line of Elton John’s “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word”, another good example of a mixture of minor scales.

The part of "Bury a Friend" you played, sounds a lot like "People Are Strange" by the Doors. They both use i, iv, V chords, with i being a harmonic minor. Hey, here's another thought - in "Girl" (Beatles), that first G7 could just as well have been a Gm; and the 2nd measure could be split in half, with Cm followed by C7, suggested by that Bb, and forming a perfect cadence to the following chord, Fm. This would be an alternative way to cover the song, don't you think? Fred
