A minor Chords: Movable 6th String Root Forms
A Harmonized Scale is a scale that is played with chords (or arpeggios) built on each note of the scale. Unless otherwise specified, we assume that only notes in the scale are used to form the chords. Chord Scale is a somewhat confusing slang term for Harmonized Scale.
These sound better on electrics and steel string acoustics than barre chords, and put far less stress on your hand.
