Notice it&#8217;s minor.<\/p>\n<p>This created a problem for western composers because the fifth tone was almost always major. It provided that strong pull needed to get back to the tonic, or first tone. But now that it was minor, it made music sound ancient and folkloric, at least to westerners.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a common <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1-4-5 progression<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> would have all minor chords if you only played chords from the list above. You try playing C minor to F minor to G minor and tell me how it sounds to you&#8230; kinda ancient and gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go to the key of C minor to make this even clearer.<\/p>\n<p>The natural minor scale is:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C D Eb F G Ab <strong>Bb<\/strong> C<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notice the 7th tone, which is Bb. This is the tone that forces the fifth degree to be minor.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, because the fifth tone is G and if you create a chord off G by taking every other note, you&#8217;d get <strong>G+Bb+D<\/strong>, which is a G minor chord.<\/p>\n<p>Contrast it with the regular C major scale (C D E F G A <strong>B<\/strong> C) and the 5th chord is <strong>G+B+D<\/strong>, which is a G major chord&#8230; the chord we&#8217;re used to hearing.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s one reason the harmonic minor scale was created.<\/p>\n<p>And for the good news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>All it does is take the natural minor scale and raise the 7th tone a half step. In the key of C minor, it basically gets that &#8220;B&#8221; natural back so that the fifth chord can be major instead of minor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C natural minor scale:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C D Eb F G Ab Bb C<br \/>\n1 2 3 4 5 6 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, to transform this into a C harmonic minor scale, just take the 7th tone (Bb) and raise it a half step to B.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C harmonic minor scale:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C D Eb F G Ab B C<br \/>\n1 2 3 4 5 6 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Note: The skip from &#8220;Ab&#8221; to &#8220;B&#8221; in this scale creates an interesting sound.
