Drop C Fretboard Diagrams for Harmonic Minor Scale Modes

This guide provides fretboard diagrams for the following scales, based on each of the twelve notes of the:

• Harmonic Minor (First Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)
• Locrian 66 (Second Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)
• Ionian #5 (Third Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)
• Dorian #4 (Fourth Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)
• Phrygian Dominant (Fifth Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)
• Lydian #2 (Sixth Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)
• Altered Diminished (Seventh Mode of Harmonic Minor Scale)

Each of the seven-note scales lists the notes within it, the chords that are made from those notes, a 24-frets fretboard, and the notes of each diatonic chord, as shown in the image on page 11. Note: For the scales that have the same number of alterations (six sharps or six flats), both enharmonic scales are provided; otherwise, only the scale with less alterations is provided.

This guide provides no music theory, just the diagrams with the notes within the scale, so you can glance at the fretboard while improvising or composing new music.
