Excellent video as always, I love your Crystal clear series videos, they are always very informative and helpful to grow your musical knowledge. Thank you so much Rob for another excellent video . Cheers
Hello Sir, I would like to thank you for the effort that you have put into the content of this video. I am impressed. I have recently paid $75 for the Beato Interactive book, the content of which disappointed me. This single video of yours on the topic is very fulfilling. I will consider purchasing your products on Patreon next month.
I know all of this, but find myself watching anyway, as you organise these lessons quite beautifully. I did learn a lot from your lesson on the exotic scales though, so I think I'll stick around . Thank-you. (And well done, on your wonderfully presented content).
Ooooh goodness ... I've always kind of shied away from Melodic Minor ever since I heard about it as a kid ... very long time ago in the recorder class in primary school I guess (classical way with Natural Minor descending). But after recapping - and diving into - with the Phrygian Dominant lesson of yours, the Melodic Minor appeared. So I thought ... OK then, let's at least take a short look ... and you really cought me right away! This lesson opened a whole new world ... and there will be a lot to digest too! But it's definitely worth the struggle. Fantastic! ... and again, many thanks for sharing your great knowledge ... cheers Res
Melodic minor can be considerd as Dorian maj7 @20:00 II degree shold be Phrygian major6 , NOT Phrygian sharp 6 Vi degree should be Locrian major2, NOT Locrian sharp2 @24:20 "Autumn Leaves" was composed by Joseph Kosma
Enjoyed the lesson. As always, a lot to unpack. Kind of looks like a marriage between the Dorian and Harmonic minor scales (for example, in Am: retaining the F# from Dorian and G# from Harmonic minor) This would allow an Am, D, E7 progression (which is common).
I want to play the Hawaiian Scale for ukulele which is melodic minor scale, will have a go after work, like to play it before I sleep. Very good lesson. I also like D2 chord which works with this scale.
That's a good way to think of it. All three of the classical minor scales (natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor) share the first five notes, and - of course - the last note; it's only notes 6 and 7 that vary.
this seems to be a topic that will perceive differently each revisit in journey, Im just getting it under my fingers again today why not learn the harmonic minor and melodic minor at the same time on one string at a time? since the difference is the 6th , using 3 notes per string melodic ascending and harmonic descending, is it any value in soloing? of course throwing back the major scale note on the descending is already in the memory for natural minor descending so in key of G major I sharpen the C(melodic) and D(melodic and harmonic) , which are the 6 and 7th of Enatural minor is there many shortcut methods that can be shared?
Hi Vincent. Thanks for your contribution. There are many ways to study scales and these ones in particular. I like to practice a scale in a musical context. The melodic scale has different application than the harmonic minor scale. So that could be a reason to practice them without relating the scales. On the other hand is the structure of both scales quite a like. so in technical sense it would be a way to practice this together.
I thought that the scale you are talking about is the Harmonic Minor . The Melodic Minor is like the Natural Minor but with a major seventh , so three semi tones between the minor sixth and the major seventh . Correct me if I am wrong ...
I have been playing since The Beatles first arrived on the music scene (no lie) but I have never seriously explored the Melodic Minor scale, or Nateral or Harmonic for that matter. I've always been "stuck" in the CAGED Major/Minor7th pentatonic boxes. Thanks to you and your awesome explanation I'm excited again. I think i can catch on to this. I just built myself a new electric 12 string and along with this video I have a new inspiration to practice more than just noodle again. Thanks. New sub to your channel.
This is really helpful!! Thank!!..you have a really cool style too..but you pronounce..s..not sch...its easy.. Unlike your lessons which are..and aren't:)
Very well presented. Your explanation of the Melodic Minor Scale and uses is one of the best I've viewed to date.
Like a mullet: Minor in the front, Major at the back!
:)
😂 Boss comment!
saya ingin tanya pak guru, ketika pemainnya 2,5,1, kenapa dua yang dipakai IIm-5 ? terus kenapa lima yang dipakai V alterd ?
It's an elegant, sophisticated, and classy sounding scale! Thank you!!!!! Great tutorial!!!
I took a lot of notes. Thank you. I can not possibly convey to you how much this video helped me.
Thank you sir, you help me a lot writing my own music, eventhoug i little bit confuse..😅
Excellent video as always, I love your Crystal clear series videos, they are always very informative and helpful to grow your musical knowledge.
Thank you so much Rob for another excellent video .

Agreed. The Beato book is very disappointing
That is packed with useful knowledge. Great stuff man, thank you!
Thank you Johnny!
Oh, wow! I love Bernard Hermann!!!!
Another Gold lesson.

This is what I have been waiting for ,thz man
Great...thanks so much for share and explain the theory...God bless

That's what it is Tom :) I like this scale a lot!

Excellent, thank you!
Gracias , una lección excelente !!!!!!saludos desde Argentina
Thanks man! Greetz from the Netherlands.
The melodic minor scale sounds like my home planet calling me back over.
I see it as the major scale with the crucial flattened third. The flat third makes it cut you just right.
That's a good way to think of it. All three of the classical minor scales (natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor) share the first five notes, and - of course - the last note; it's only notes 6 and 7 that vary.
Thank you!!!!! Great tutorial!!!
Great video! Thanks!
this seems to be a topic that will perceive differently each revisit in journey, Im just getting it under my fingers again today
why not learn the harmonic minor and melodic minor at the same time on one string at a time? since the difference is the 6th , using 3 notes per string
melodic ascending and harmonic descending, is it any value in soloing? of course throwing back the major scale note on the descending is already in the memory
for natural minor descending
so in key of G major I sharpen the C(melodic) and D(melodic and harmonic) , which are the 6 and 7th of Enatural minor
is there many shortcut methods that can be shared?

Than you very very much!
Slash uses.... superb lessons.
Excellent. I would also recommend Tom Quayle's Solo app for this purpose.
Wich app?
Oh! Solo ok
3:00 In terms of harmony theory, from F to G sharp is not a minor third interval, it is an augmented second ( though the sound is the same)
That's true and I should have called it that way.
Very good lesson....
Holy cow! You're such a knowledgeable musician. You must be British 🙂
Pure Dutch...
It's in the accent ;)
Thank you
The opening sequence of the series Jessica Jones... I always wondered but now I'm pretty sure 😜
you rock Rob!
I don’t know if this is correct, but I think of this as a mash between the symmetrical scale and whole tone scale
Super!!!!!🎸
I thought that the scale you are talking about is the Harmonic Minor . The Melodic Minor is like the Natural Minor but with a major seventh , so three semi tones between the minor sixth and the major seventh . Correct me if I am wrong ...
I was wrong sorry
Thanks
Thank you so much Duncan. I really appreciate this!
👍 Thanks

interesting, but you lost me when stating the modes and which chords.
