Thanks to fuzzbox for the quick reply pointing to my minor scale patterns tutorial! :)[br][br]The minor key progression is essentially just the major key harmonic order, but shifted over. The chord qualities remain the same (major or minor chord), but the numbers shift so that the relative minor key "one chord" starts on the major key "six chord".

So, you wind up with

i - minor one chord

ii dim - diminished two chord

III - major three chord

iv - minor four chord

v - minor five chord

VI - major six chord

VII - major seven chord

This tutorial covers harmonizing the major scale.

Unfortunately, it does not cover harmonizing the minor scale! I should add that sometime. :)

I do have lessons that cover minor scales here.

I have lessons that cover minor scale harmony guitar parts that might help.
