The raised leading tone makes the runs pull harder than natural minor. On guitar, that pull is only useful if the voicings remain connected from bar to bar.

Practice notes
Listen especially to CmMaj7 and Bdim7. They define the scale faster than any theoretical explanation, provided the chord is allowed to last the full bar.
Keep one bar per chord. The discipline is to hear the full harmony, watch the voice movement, and let the hand learn the nearest playable shape without breaking the cycle.
