I’m going to teach you the E Minor harmonic scale today. The notes of the scale are E, F sharp, G, A, B, C, D sharp, and E. Now let’s take a look at the fingering for the scale.

The right hand starts on the E with thumb. When your third finger hits the G, cross your thumb under to the A. Now use all five fingers, ending the scale with the E with your pinky. On the way back down, cross your third finger over when your thumb gets back to the A and finish the scale.

The left thumb uses the pinky to hit the E. From there work up using all five fingers until your thumb hits the B. Cross over with your third finger to hit the C and finish out the scale. Your second finger will be on the E. On the way back down, cross your thumb under the third finger when it gets back to the C and finish the scale. Read more…

The E Flat Minor Harmonic scale is next. The notes of the scale are E flat, F, G flat, A flat, B flat, B, D, and finally the E flat octave. Keep reading to learn the proper fingering for the scale.

Starting with the second finger of the right hand, hit the E flat. Bring the thumb under to hit the F, then hit the G flat with the second finger. Continue playing until you get to the B flat, then cross your thumb under to hit the B natural. Finish off the scale finger by finger until your third finger lands on the E flat octave. Come down the same way.

The left hand starts with the second finger as well. Now hit the F with your thumb and cross the fourth finger over to hit the G flat. The thumb will land on the B, at which point you cross the third finger over to hit the D and finish the the second finger on the E flat. Come back down the same way you went up, in reverse.
