The Harmonic Minor Scale and creating runs. (guitar)

[Yngwie 4String]

So Im playin my beloved Dean MLX and Im trying to get this harmonic minor scale down. It gives me that classical kind of sound I really want. Ive messed with the Natural Minor forever and I thought it was what I needed, but it was a little off. So tonight I was messing on youtube, and I found this Video.

Thats the scale I need, but Im not good enough on my theory to catch all of what he is saying. He says a finguring pattern in the middle of the video like
1 3 4
1 3 4
2 3
I think he shifts down a fret here
1 2 4
2 3
1 2 4
Did I get the shift right, and the fingerings correct thats my first question. My next question is how do I construct a run out of this scale and also out of the Major pentatonic scale. I dont understand theory well enough to figure it out, so please dumb it down for me. THNX.

The leftmost string is the low E and the top line is the lowest fret. Obviously these fingerings are for guitar (two extra strings) but you can ignore those.
