Yes, I've read those & other similiar works.


The Harmonic Minor is a single mode scale based off of the "aolian" mode. Although I have heard some pretty good uses of the "Flaminco scale" (based off of the phrygian).

You say you read everything and then some, but you seem to be confusing "modes" with "positions". I played all seven positions of the Harmonic minor in the video, and you called them modes? You see, all seven positions are of the same mode. Why are you calling each of the positions of the Harmonic minor scale a mode?
