  • C'mon, man. Why would you post that as your complete response?

    Let me finish it for you:

    BUT, in the jazz world, the identical ascending/descending version IS referred to as "melodic minor." Sure, it's not "correct," but jazz players have gotten by for decades without ever even acknowledging the "Bachian scale."

    I'm not discounting classical study/teaching, but...

  • many people misunderstand the melodic minor with regards to the classical tradition (mostly because its usually taught badly). In classical music melodic minor isn't really treated as a strict scale per say, but more of a possible alteration to the minor mode. The descending is often altered because there is no need of a leading tone in that direction, but it is not a strict rule and many other things must be taken into account.

  • you fingers was almost like paul gilbert fingers.!!

  • Thanks for the lesson, God bless you

  • bony fingers o_O

  • I like these kind of lessons, for me, finding out by hearing works the best.

    And after that, the nice use of this scale comes to live when you start using it. thanks, great video:)

  • can you send a pm, explaining that better plz??

    best regards

  • The primary reason for the classical melodic minor working the way it does is, I believe, because descending it sounds too much like a major scale- which will sound kinda wacky over a normal minor progression (to classical musicians). But ascending of course, it has a distinctive minor quality thanks to the first half.

  • questo ragazzo e un genio.grazie Daniele per questa lezzione.

  • Sfigà
