Guitar Glossary 

 

Melodic Minor Scales

 

This scale actually contains a lot of different notes when it is played ascending (from lower octave to higher octave) than when played descending (from higher octave to lower octave). The descending version has the same notes as the relative minor scale (Aeolian mode). When this scale is referred to from an improvising standpoint, the ascending version (sometimes called the "jazz minor scale") is normally used.

 

You can use this one over the minor triad or power chord of your chosen key. Use A melodic minor over an A minor triad or an A power chord. This scale can also be used over D major and E major, when these chords are used in a progression that centers around an A minor triad or an A power chord.



Formula 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6, 7
