Above is the shape for A harmonic Minor. You can approach this shape with Alternate picking, legato, and even hybrid picking. Be sure to also learn it all over the neck so when needed, you can transpose is to any key.
Here is the shape for E Phrygian Dominant, essentially the same as A harmonic minor but with a more middle eastern flair to it.
