Harmonic minor on guitar (A)
Harmonic minor in A: A – B – C – D – E – F – G#. On the guitar, six strings open the scale into wide shapes — there is room to choose the region of the neck that sings best. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, open, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
Climb it slowly and name each degree out loud before speeding up.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
