And maybe C to C-sharp, but if you like the exotic sound, keeping it at C will give you that.

So I could basically play E natural minor (E F# G A B C D) and switch to E harmonic minor when I hit the B chord to grab that D#, or play E harmonic minor, (E F# G A B C D#) and switch to E natural minor over the D chord to grab the D note.
Is this all correct? Any other tips/ tricks I could do? This is beginning to make sense I think.
