This study in arpeggios is comprised almost entirely of notes from the
harmonic minor scale (A B C D E F G#). The only nondiatonic series of notes would be found in measure 3, an arpeggio, which in this case functions as a secondary dominant to the Dm in measure 4.

What more can I say? This is just a truly cool riff. It might be a little tough to start on if you
a beginner, but never-the-less, would be a nice riff to learn and use as a warming up exercise.
