Neoclassical Shred Guitar: Harmonic Minor Scale & Diminished 7th Runs

The Neoclassical Sound: Harmonic Minor Scale

Raising the 7th degree of the natural minor scale creates the dramatic, exotic **Harmonic Minor Scale** (1-2-b3-4-5-b6-7) synonymous with neoclassical rock!

Symmetrical Diminished 7th Arpeggios

Diminished 7th arpeggios repeat every 3 frets across the neck, allowing lightning-fast position shifts up the fretboard.
