    0:32 Natural, Harmonic & Melodic Minor Comparison
    1:34 Chord-Scale Connections
    4:53 The Roadmap
    7:14 Related Modes
    10:18 Harmonising Melodic Minor
    13:45 Summary
    In this lesson we explore the unique sound of the melodic minor scale. Get to know it on a deeper level through both ear training and learning how to break up its roadmap on the guitar neck. Plus, we look at three of its colourful modes that can be used over dominant 7th chords (without having to learn an entirely new pattern).

      Lovely Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Rozardner Inspiring Chord Reality (google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for how to play guitar scales minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cooworker after many years got cool results with it.

      @ddaneh3090 Před 4 lety +1

      parridit nadia I looked into it, and it pretty much explains what you need to play any instrument effectively, which is technique + music theory knowledge + playing what you feel like playing.
      The article was long as balls though, riddled with clickbait titles, instead of actually telling you about the nuances of guitar playing, i would rather reccomend you CZcams guitar teachers such as Troy Grady for picking, and David Brewster for scales and their use.
      We also have Carl Brown, who teaches songs note for note, and Ben Eller, who teaches exercises and difficult solos note for note.

    15 yrs experienced player checking in here, and I'm looking to take my playing from mid-intermediate level to upper-intermediate/advanced. This lesson right here is blowing my little pea brain apart, but in the best way imaginable. Wowza, I'm loving the possibilities here. 🤯🤯 I've ignored the melodic minor for the longest time because it doesn't fit neatly in with my study of the major scale and its standard modes, but it seems incorporating it really takes the sound to a whole new level. Can't wait to practice this stuff. THANK YOU MASTER! 🙏

    WHOA!!! Absolutely love this sound!!!! Reminds me of Mike Stern, Scott Henderson, John Scofield,... Thank you so much for these lessons. I always enjoyed that sound but never was able to get it under my fingers... the positions and fingerings felt so weird!!!
    Gotta dedicate some serious time to learning these.... they will help develop your individual style... As opposed to sounding like everybody else. Thanks so much again for sharing. 😎

    Woah! This is a great lesson! I must admit I've always struggled with melodic minor. Every time I've tried to implement it in my solos it just sounds SO bad. But now I think I'm gonna try again and use some of the stuff I've learnt here. Thank you so much!

    • @Wofanie
      @Wofanie Před rokem

      How can you apply this scale in your major solos? And if possible how? Do I need to think in the fourth degree… say on a C major, can I play an F melodic minor solo?

    • @BATTIS94
      @BATTIS94 Před rokem

      @@Wofanie The way I would go about playing melodic minor over a major chord is to use it on the dominant chord of the progression (in the key of Cmaj, it would be on the the G7 chord). Fourth degree works, fifth degree works too.

  • @vincenttanguay4198
    @vincenttanguay4198 Před 3 lety +1

    Please please please, do a video on the use of the melodic minor in the blues. Used on the fifth degree for soloing and used 1/2 a step up from the chord you are on for transitioning . I watched a video about this subject from josh smith but i think it was missing out on the visual aspect with which you are so good at. Your lessons are unbeleivebly helpfull and easy to understand. I would really appreciate it because this concept allows to color your soloing in a way i never knew how to acheive.
    You are awesome!
