Great scale, and the melodic minor is contructedd off of this too!

Highly recommend for everyone to learn about the Harmonic Minor Scale. One of the biggest tricks up my sleeve that I use in solos and leads, definitely my favorite scale. I first learned about it by studying Syn's playing and note choice. Gives it a great, almost evil (dare I say sinister) sort of sound. Also sounds great on a nylon guitar and used in spanish/classical music.

It's definitely one of the key flavors to the Avenged sound. I noticed Syn seems to use Phrygian Dominant type motifs when he's doing his live solo breaks - it's so clever cause they don't sound like typical cliche cheesy metal Phrygian dominant leads one of my favorite things about his style

I learned the Fm chord starting the D string, so now I can do it on the other notes too. The theory part I got to try and understand it again, also try the tips. For me its a lot of information, that with general practice
