Guitar Lesson 8: Harmonic and Melodic Minor scales

[LilClapton]

thanks dude

[diggantozzz]

on the tablature the positioning of the 4th finger on the 1st string is wrong isn't it? It should be on the 6th fret and not on the 7th right?

[aydooknow]

cool!

now i can stop playing pentatonic haha

[FuckingFaithless]

can u play melodic death metal with this scale...

[kfr676]

Probably. You can use any scale for any style of music. I'm not too familiar with death metal though.

[HALOSPARTAN88]

@FuckingFaithless best type of music ever

[ksw33n3y]

@FuckingFaithless yes! thats what makes it death metal. plus dimisihed.

[logankw12]

[Pinkspider93]

[deadfoeti]

Thanks I have plenty more videos to post but at some point I will research these scales and post a few videos on them. I guess I just used a bad choice of words when I stated "the other two variations of the minor scale." I did know that there were many more but didn't really know much about them. I will soon though. You see, many people are benefiting from my lessons and so am I.

[jimmypage1stfan]

ya man im not trying to show you up, your lessons are great! and i wasnt the original poster, i was just letting you know some more minor scales! good luck!

[kfr676]

HAHA I didn't even realize that you weren't the original poster. Sorry about that. I did some research on these and it looks like the relate in some ways to the modal system: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian...Once I'm done posing the catalog of videos that i have which will be over the next several months. I'm going to do a video on modes.

[jakekoleman]

nah bro, those are the modes, the "3" variants of the minor scale are; natural, harmonic, melodic.

[jakekoleman]

nah bro, those are the modes, the 3 variations of the minor scale are; natural, melodic and minor as he said in the video.

Thanks for the footy man this really helps even us who've got the basics down.

[bentfroggy]

Dude, awesome. I am a wheelchair bound guitar player too! I use the term "player" loosely, but I'm learning. Thanks for posting this kind of stuff.

[kfr676]

Hey Froggy. That's awesome that you play too. How long have you been playing? What is your disablity? You can e-mail privately on here if you want. Later.

Fairly informative if you are a blunt beginner just looking to figure out notes n positions for scale. I think in this day and age there are a million ways to do that, so no need to adda nother one. IMO it would be better if you picked a scale and came up with some sort of an exercise or a lick that would use the scale in all different positions.

[kfr676]

Hi Gateway. That is the intent with many of my postings. I actually have a scale excercise recorded that I will be posting in the coming months. I don't know who is viewing my postings...it could be someone advanced like you or a beginner...so I make sure that everyone has the knowledge they need. You can't teach the excercises before teaching the scale, chords, or whatever it may be.
