He nailed it! I did in fact write a tune for my girlfriend with that chord. At that time I thought it to be original, but now it turns out it's just a cliché... I hope the girlfriend doesn't mind :)
I might be unoriginal but at least I have a soul ;)
I believe he's using the 3rd mode of the melodic minor scale, which I call the lydian augmented, since it has both an augmented 11th and an augmented 5th.
This is great! (I consider "Harmonic minor" the Minor Major scale, not "Melodic minor" (even though both scales spell out a Maj7#5 7th chord from the 3rd degree). I would always like to know which scale someone is talking about, its so much clearer when the scales actual name is used.. actually.. I along with many people would consider the phrase "minor major" to refer to an arpeggio or 7th chord.. not a scale. In practice, Either scale could be used for their subtle differences.
Oh god, :35 sounds terrible!

I don't have a soul and it still sounds like a girlfriend chord.
