That first lick is a corker. The other night I threw it in, on the bass, over a big Am finishing chord and the rest of the band turned to look at me with open mouths. I just shrugged at them nonchalantly and knew that, for just a couple of bars, I was the coolest bastard in the band.

I feel like our ears aren't used to melodic minor tonality, so licks using that scale always sound interesting and unique. would love to see more, expecially talking about how to utilize different modes of the scale. thanks again for a great video sir

Always liked the minor with Major7 more than a min7, because of the nice tension. Even on min7 chords I like to play a min with a Maj7. J.S. Bach also loved the sound of a minor with a Maj7

@MrMashyker 5 лет назад

I think of melodic minor as natural minor with sharp 6 and 7. You raise the 7th of the natural minor to create a leading-tone and you get the harmonic minor as a result. And then you raise the 6th as well to get rid of an augmented second between the 6th and the 7th scale degrees.

@francoisbrown9628 7 лет назад

Hey jeff, great stuff as always ! Just a quick message to precise for those who didnt know it yet that the lick at the end of your lick 1 is known as the cry me a river lick which can be heard everywhere (as it fit almost every chords). I though it should have been mentioned. Take care and thanks again for the great work.

@ronaskew 7 лет назад

Interesting to consider what to think about when you're playing the melodic minor scale. It has so many uses but in all of its uses it's important to think about playing to the Cortone so this is one scale that has to be actually thought I have in many different ways in order to make a significant melodic statements against it or with it against another chord. So, after working out the mechanics of actually playing it on the instrument, the next thing is to think of playing it against and a minor chord, then applying all of its other uses thinking about the chord of the moment, as you play.

@kainejoyes2981 6 лет назад

Absolutely love this guy, I’m a Hammond organ player in a funk band looking to get some interesting jazzy/bluesy runs, these video all explained in concert pitch allow me access to these beautiful runs, really helping how I think about music theory creating interest rather than just noodling around the pentatonic. 10/10 fantastic job..👍🏻

@PIANOSTYLE100 3 года назад

Taking awhile to figure this out. Notice that it starts out with D goes down a b3 to natural B up on the C melodic scale. Then back to natural B,then a maj 3 down to G up in C melodic scale. Next..down a major 3 to G..then down a major third to Eb( part of C Mel. min.) Noticing that the first notes of 16ths are D B G Eb. All notes of the Cmaj min 7. Looks like it is using the 9 7 5 -3 as a descending pattern. Of course I am going by the Cmin maj 7 choard ( C Eb G B)..Just listened to your explanation. Noticed that the 3rd descending followed the notes of the Cminmaj7 scale. So you don't need to think of this in terms of majorsand minors. It basically is following the notes of the C Mel. minor.

@reednut2091 5 лет назад

You should have used Harlem Nocturne as an example. That melody kept popping into my head through the whole video. Anyways, I've always resisted this scale because I HATE bebop, but listening to you play it made me think of other styles I could apply it to. My focus the last few years has been trad jazz, trying to sound like the really early guys, Johnny Dodds, Bix Biederbeck, Sydney Bechet. So I haven't really been interested in that sound as much, but I do like your style of teaching. Good videos and I will subscribe for more. Do some good trad jazz licks and I will be a lifer.

It sounds, to my ear, that you could actually start with a downward trill just before the Eflat apeggio up the scale to the Gflat and then with another downward trill off the Gflat back down... by the way, once i hear the Gflat off your scale, I get a slight bar Mitzvah party tone going on there. Shalom ; )
