A practical guide to the seven modes of the harmonic minor and how to use them for reharmonization and improvisation.
This lesson maps out the harmonic minor scale and its seven modes, showing their seventh-chord options and modal flavors in the key of C minor. Through clear examples it demonstrates functional uses—like pairing Locrian natural 13 with iim7b5, using Mixolydian b9 b13 to spice a V7 in major, and applying Ionian #5 on a bIIImaj7. You’ll get concrete reharmonization and substitution ideas you can drop into progressions and solos, plus guidance on when harmonic minor choices differ from melodic and natural minor. Ideal for pianists and improvisers who want new textures for jazz harmony and arrangement.
