The harmonic minor is a perfect scale for shredding, sweep picking or tapping. Today it is commonly used in metal - before it was used in jazz and classical music. Paul Gilbert is renowned for using this scale throughout his work.
A harmonic minor scale is created by lowering the 3rd and 6th of the scale. This now creates 3 semitones between the 6 and the 7 - giving it a more eastern sound.
Above is a simple example of a harmonic minor scale.
