melodic minor scale

This guitar lesson provides 10 easy exercises for understanding the relationship between the Melodic Minor Scale and altered dominant seventh chords. This is a free course (or give what you want) with a printable PDF with tab/standard notation and a YouTube short video. 

In this lesson we will see how to harmonize the melodic minor scale in thirds with seventh chords.

In other words we will see how to build seventh chords by stacking thirds from each degree of the melodic minor scale.

Learning and playing scales can be an important part of any guitarist’s practise regime.

By playing scales in a variety of ways we can develop our familiarity with the fretboard beyond simply going up and down scales.

In this tutorial we will look at combining two different scale patterns by shifting between them on various strings.

For this we are going to use two patterns of an Eb Melodic minor scale, patterns 2 and 3.

The Melodic minor scale consists of the intervals R 2 b3 4 5 6 7 (R is for the Root note).
