4-Part Harmonic Minor Chords and Progressions

.This blog is going to have information that you can immediately use to plug in and play progressions using harmonic minor (and mixing it with natural minor)...

First off, here are the 4-part harmony versions of the harmonic minor chords:

i = minor/maj7 ii = half dim 7 III = maj7#5 iv = min7 V = 7th VI = maj7 and VII = dim7

These chords in A harmonic minor are: Am/maj7 – Bm7flat5 – Cmaj7#5 – Dm7 – E7 – Fmaj7 – G#dim7

Next, I'll show you 4 common and interesting harmonic minor chord progressions then one progressions that mixes between harmonic and natural minor:

1. iim7flat5 – V7 – i
2. i – iv – V
3. iv -V7 – i – VI
4. i – viidim7 – VI – V7
   
   

Play this progression and analyze it, it combines chords from A minor and harmonic minor:

Am7 – G#dim 7 – E7/G# - Am – F#7 – Bm – F – G7 - E7
