I am not a jazz guitar master, but that might help you more!!!


the more common use of this scale. the lydian dominant is when you play the A melodic minor scale over a D7 chord. this is probably the most flavorful part of this series. Check it out

  • not a master ? really quite a master !!! great lesson and great application of this scale !

  • This is sort of irrelevant. The 9th is just an extension, and in a jazz context you just refer to the base harmony (7th), and any extension or alteration is at the discretion of the player.

  • @danlovesnan playing a Cmelodic on a G7 chord creates a mixolydian b6 (the 5th mode of the melodic minor)sound over the G7 chord which is an alternative to the vanilla mixolydian scale.Now playing an Ab melodic minor over G7 creates an altered sound over the G7 chord (7th mode of the melodic minor chord).Personally,I think it is a cool sound if you want to go 'outside' before you resolve to the one which is C major.It will take some time for you to appreciate the sound.keep on experimenting.

  • aaaaaaaaaa. great bonus at the end! you can tell you really like what you're doin! good job!

  • Good stuff!

  • Nice to see you cut loose....

    Ol' blues Dawg...

  • hello, I have a question. If I play a Cmelodic minor on a G7 it sounds good, but if I play a Gsharp melodic minor it doesn't..isn't it strange? I was playing the Ab melodicMinor thinking of the triton substitution G7/D7b (C#7)...Have you got any idea?

  • nice lesson...practically speaking...but how can we understand how to use it unless we study the harmonization of its chords? I did it right now, and I have a more clear idea about how to use it.

  • hello,

    how can I use these scales? I mean: if I am playing a G7 (dominant) do I use the minor melodic scale of C starting from G? As I do with the major scale? what If I am playing a Dmaj7? For me this is a new scale and cannot quite understand how to use this sound...

  • @MrMusicgenius I suppose the person who made the comment would care that it's irrelevant.

  • if it sounds good...then it is good
