For the complete lesson and lots more tips on the melodic minor scale make sure you visit the lesson link on the top left. The melodic minor scale has been around for hundreds of years. You'll hear Baroque composers like Bach use the melodic minor scale in both it's ascending and traditional descending form. The theory for the ascending version of the melodic minor scale is 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The descending version is 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7, 8. It's interesting how different styles of music develop. I've heard over the years from my college music history classes that the reason they would play a different version descending had to do with singers not being able to sing the ascending melodic minor in tune. So, they adjusted the descending intervals. In jazz we tend usually only use the ascending version of the melodic minor scale. That means we play the ascending version of the scale both up and down. This is often times referred to as the jazz minor scale for that reason. In today's video we go over 2 different jazz modes that you can get from starting the melodic minor scale on different scale degrees. The scales we go over in this lesson are the lydian dominant scale and the altered scale. There are actually 7 modes, tons of interesting harmonies, and lots of interesting chord voicings you can build from the melodic minor scale. The first example in the video I'm playing a 2 5 1 chord progression in the key of Bb minor. The chords are Cm7(b5) - F7 - Bbm6. When I get to the I chord, that's where I'm using the melodic minor scale. In the second example I'm playing over the chords Eb7 and Dm7. This is where I'm going up a 4th and using the lydian dominant scale to solo over the Eb7 chord. So, we're going up a 4th and building a jazz mode of the melodic minor scale here. The thing to keep in mind is that now that we're up a 4th it really takes on it's own unique flavor. Whenever you have a dominant chord that's up a half step and then resolves down (either to a major or minor) you can use the lydian dominant. In the 3rd example I'm playing an A7 to a Dm7 chord. This is basically just a traditional V to I but I'm using more of a 20th century jazz scale on the A7 chord. We didn't have time to go over all the hundreds of jazz scales and modes in this video. There are lots of killer sounds and flavors to cook with in your improvisation. The good news is that we'll be covering the whole spectrum of modern jazz harmony in the brand new "Jazz Improvisation Super System" course. Stay tuned for the release of that course on October 2nd, 2017. If you enjoy this melodic minor scale lesson please leave a comment, press like, or share with other musician friends.
