A harmonic minor sequence

Difficulty level: Intermediate - advanced 
 
Watch demonstration on YouTube
 
 This is a great exercise to build speed & coordination between the left & right hands, and also to familiarize yourself with the exotic flavor of the harmonic minor scale.
 
In the video tutorial I cover:
 
- What is a melodic sequence (pattern)
- Right hand alternate picking technique
- Left hand pull offs
- How to practice and synchronize between the hands
 
Musically speaking, the harmonic minor scale is a minor scale with a sharp VII (the 7th note in the scale).
 
So in the case of an A minor scale, the A minor scale is:
 
A (I), B (II), C (III), D (IV), E (V), F (VI), G (VII)
 
So an A harmonic minor scale would have the VII (7th note) one step higher (G# instead of G) - this creates a stronger tension and a more dark, "dramatic" sound, that is often used in Spanish and middle eastern music:

A (I), B (II), C (III), D (IV), E (V), F (VI), G# (VII#)
 
With this exercise, you can get a feeling of how the scale sounds over different bass notes (A, E, D), I did it purposefully so that you can feel the different harmonic flavors of the scale, while practicing your technique and building speed.
