Harmonic minor diatonic triads and 7th chords
- Now, let's harmonize or build the chords for the harmonic minor scale. We'll start with triads. Here we see that the one chord is a minor triad. The two chord is a diminished triad. The three chord is an augmented triad. The four chord is a minor triad. The five chord is a major triad. The six chord is a major triad. And the seven chord is a diminished triad. When we add diatonic seventh to the chords, our one chord becomes a minor major seventh chord. The two chord is a minor seven flat five or half diminished seventh chord. The three chord is an augmented major seventh chord. The four chord is a minor seventh chord. The five chord is a dominant seventh chord. The six chord is a major seventh chord. And the seventh chord is a diminished seventh chord. This will hold true for all harmonic minor scales. I'm sure you'll notice there are some different types of seventh chords here.
