I realized as I was working on my Harmonic Minor mega lesson that I should probably make some nice pretty charts for you all, and that spiraled in to a brand new Ultimate Modal Poster (Harmonic Minor Edition). My last poster took me 3 months to finish, but fortunately I'm able to reuse many of the resources I created to make this one quicker.
I also learned last time that I can not be trusted to proofread my own work - the last poster made it out with actual errors for the first few sales and I'd love to avoid that. In that spirit, I'm posting the rough drafts of each poster here for you and would really appreciate your input. Mainly I'm looking for MISTAKES! If you see something mispelled or incorrect, please message me directly and let me know. I've attached both huge PNG files below - One in A and one in C.
I'll be making this poster a digital download for FREE to you all, and will also provide you with a discounted code to buy it as a physical poster from TeeSpring as cheaply as it can be provided. The upcoming lesson will also include multiple mp3s and additional charts besides this one. I figured if I'm going to do the Harmonic Minor Modes lesson, I better do it right! It is a very confusing topic and I don't want to have to do this all over again :P
Tomorrow night I will be answering your questions live at 7PM CST. If you post your questions here I can prepare an answer for you ahead of time, otherwise you'll have to stick around to the end of the stream to ask a question live. I'll post a link to access the stream tomorrow at 6PM CST.
Thanks and see you tomorrow!
EDIT: I've already fixed some of the weird fingering mistakes but please double check them. My mind is numb looking at them at this point!

My only feedback is the chart won't work for left-handed players, with the fretboard laid out horizontally, moving left to right. It is in the exact opposite direction from visualizing a left-handed fretboard that moves from right to left. Been playing guitar a long, long time and I still cannot make those horizontal fretboards work in my mind. Very practiced at translating every else from right-handed to left (e.g. chord diagrams are a piece of cake), but cannot make these fretboards make sense. So, easier for left-handed people is the same chart oriented vertically instead of horizontally. It becomes similar to chord charts. All I have to do is translate the mirror image of strings 1-6, but at least I don't have to also mentally change direction. Of course, since these are digital images, a left-handed version would always be perfectly welcome!
Hello Jake, I like the poster. The colours and design are great. I want it, but I wish there could be a sort of laminated 8.5" by 11" version. I have a binder with your music course print outs in it, and I would love to have it in there as a reference (I was happily surprised to find your modal poster included in the course - but I printed the course notes in black and white so it's not as beautiful). I understand that it might not make sense to create a smaller version of the poster.
