Aeolian (HM) Probably the most commonly used of all these modes, this is the basic harmonic minor scale. Its just Aeolian mode with a sharp seventh. |---|---|---|---|---|---| |---|---|---|---|-0-|-R-|---| |---|---|---|---|-0-|-R-| |---|---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|---|-0-|---|-0-|-0-| |---|-0-|-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---| |---|-0-|-R-|---|-0-|-0-| |-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |-0-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| |-R-|---|-0-|-0-|---|---| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Example: E Aeolian (HM) |-----------------------------0-|------------------------------11-12-| |-----------------------0-1-4---|----------------------10-12-13------| |-------------------0-2---------|-------------8-9-11-12--------------| |-------------1-2-4-------------|-------7-9-10-----------------------| |-------0-2-3-------------------|-7-9-10-----------------------------| |-0-2-3-------------------------|------------------------------------| E F# G A B C D# E _______________________________________________________________________ Locrian (HM) A (pretty much) useless scale but with a sharpened sixth.
