Thank you Jared for explaining the melodic minor scale! The musical examples really helped Bach and the Beatles

[@mertgor]

Thanks and happy playing 😎❤

[@the440guitarpodcast]

Man your teaching is some of the best I've seen on KZbin. Well done!

[@Kipp274]

Can't you see, he's the man! Let me hear you applaud! He is more than a man! He's a shiny golden god!

[@macshock632]

Awsome. Tks. I wonder. If you learn the Melodic Minor in different position, you learn at the same time it‘s modes. Altered, super locrian etc ?

[@myguitarchannel8775]

thanks for the lesson it is a very helpful for me to understand this scale. needs some refreshing again and back to study this scale.

[@soundguitar]

Awesome, Glad it was helpful!

[@IsraelMaldonadoMusic]

mind blown ! great video

[@illuminotme4261]

Wow I've been playing for 20 years and know all my major modes etc. But somehow I've overlooked this scale !! THANKS I AM SUBBING. Excellent presentation!

[@TheBlackStrat502]

Wow. Just discovered your channel, Jared. I appreciate your teaching style/methods here. Great job. Keep up the great work.

[@soundguitar]

Many thanks!! :)

Wish I had found this channel 6 months ago!! that was excellent, simple, informative, professional, and great graphics!! many thanks mate :)

[@soundguitar]

Welcome aboard and thanks!! :) -Jared

[@DeGroove]

As all your vids, top notch! I particularly liked the examples where the scale is used. And that root-to-root method is gold! Thank you Jared, take care.

[@Mets_xx_Fan_01]

Fantastic lesson

[@matthewpejovicmusic1019]

My mind is blow, interesting I didn't know scales could chance accending and descending like that!

[@mobetterx1110]

Thanks for this Lesson sir! Can u do a vid about the diminished scale? Would be awesome

[@soundguitar]

Thanks for the request! I just was just thinking about doing a diminished scale video soon, so good timing - I'll definitely do one at some point

[@ugandakampala2622]

Where have u been hiding well described man jag bless u Africa

[@LooMinn]

Thank you for sharing this info Jared. BTW- J.S. Bach on the Telecaster is wonderful!

[@Will-sh8kl]

I'm looking forward to this one! Thanks! Btw, I wanted to run an idea by you a bit later.

[@soundguitar]

Right on, Will! :) Sounds good, let me know anytime, thanks!

[@Will-sh8kl]

@@soundguitar this is what I wanted to run by you. Jotted it down earlier and pasting it here. I memorized my diatonic modes and moved all the way up the fretboard, connecting them as I went, but I had a major problem with starting a scale at any random note on the A,D,G,B, high E strings. I couldn't figure out where I was in the scale after finding my note. I solved it by simply starting on those strings with my middle finger. On the A string it sets up my mixolydian pattern. On the D string it sets up dorian. The only exception is the G string. If you use the index finger to start, it sets up aeolian. On the B string, back to the middle finger which sets up lydian. I know many people don't learn modes or connect them like that, but it's worked well for me in combination with other arpeggios, etc. Maybe it will help others running into a similar problem. Hopefully this makes sense.

[@soundguitar]

@@Will-sh8kl Thanks for sharing, Will! Glad you found a solution.

[@timdale4500]

Love this Jared, what’s the make and model of your telecaster?

[@lovatfraser5360]

Thanks Jared , that was informative and accessible 👍🏼. The riff that came to mind was the 1974 “ Amateur Hour” by Sparks , I ‘ll need to check it out now 😜

[@soundguitar]

ooh, interesting. You're good at making song associations from the scale sounds. nice! Thanks, Lovat :)

[@Docmoro1]

Thie Scale is 🔥

[@nicolosmoffitt]

Do you learn different positions for all modes as well Jared?

[@soundguitar]

I do indeed. It's not necessary, but I like to work on that.

[@garychen483]

Quick question, in the video, why was melodic minor scale descending played in a way that was just a reverse of ascending? Isn’t that supposed to be a reversed natural minor scale? Thanks 🙏

[@Chris-w4j]

Thats the "classical" form of melodic minor. Ascending gives you the leading tones up to the root. Descending natural minor the leading tones are not necessary. The jazz guys wanted melodic minor to be its own scale with 7 modes. 1 Mel min 2 Dor b2 3 lyd #5 4 lyd b7 5 loc nat 2 6 mix b6 7 altered I don't think any modern musicans use the old way anymore Natural minor Harmonic minor and Melodic minor are compatible enough you can mix, match and borrow what ever you want where ever you want as needed. So yeah, melodic minor should be learned as it's own parent scale with 7 modes.

[@Chakosh]

Your diagram at 00:17 blew my mind, how is that melodic minor, but then I realized I was looking at it the wrong way 😂.

[@treefields3660]

Why are the diagrams I find on the internet different to the diagram you showed? The notes are differently set out

[@Mangazimusic]

I have the same question

[@lawofaverages5373]

Interesting fact, Paul McCartney learnt how to play that little Bach piece on an acoustic and from that he then created Blackbird.

[@Chris-w4j]

Maybe it is easier to teach melodic minor as Lydian b7 and Dorian b2 for people who are more major/minor pentatonic based players. Or minor pentatonic 1 and a half steps up for altered. Example: Gm pentatonic over Em I've given it alot of thought and I had a hard time learning this scale and how to use it because I didn't know these tricks to link it up to other scales. Dominant pentatonic (E9) E mix#4 Emixb6 Ealt

[@covermff464]

Can you give backing track for play with scale

[@kid.dynamite4918]

Are those flats?

[@outis439-A]

hey this may sound dumb, i just started playing guitar somewhat seriously, why do you say for example the 'one'- that isn't the first fret, so why is that a one? or why is that a six or a seven, etc.

[@soundguitar]

Those numbers are scale degree numbers, as in the "one" of the scale or the "six" of the scale. like "do re mi" but with numbers. hope that helps! Check out my chord theory series (featured on the main page of my channel), which covers all of that stuff from the ground up. Thanks for asking! :)

[@dpedrosoliano]

is this same as an altered?

[@vincetarver8742]

Does Greensleeves use the melodic minor?

[@giorgiomugelli9243]

🙌♥️

[@soundguitar]

🙏🙂

[@bobobogan]

I thought I was understanding it well until 2:03 to 2:15… Where it then became one scale going up and another scale going down?!$&@??? Oh well.

[@soundguitar]

I felt the exact same way when I first learned it... I remember how confusing it was to learn about it being different depending on the direction. It took years to wrap my head around why. Thanks for watching. I hope it sinks in as you keep it up! Cheers, -Jared

[@bobobogan]

@@soundguitarThank you. I’m sure I need to be persistent in learning. Several more views of the video will help I’m sure. It’s how I learn, lol…I tried years ago to find a local teacher who was versed in jazz just to get a basic understanding. No luck in the small town I live. Very good video BTW. It’s me I’m sure, lol…

[@Malcolm.Y]

I think you hamonic analysis is missing the distinction between the key of the song and the key of the moment. In the Bouree, as the melody descends from D to C, the bass is F#, and when the melody reaches B, the bass is G. That's V-I in the key of the moment, the key of G major. It's not any kind of Em scale at that point.

[@chathurangaanuhas2641]

👌

[@soundguitar]

[@hpworcestershire5196]

uhm.....how do you geT THAT TONE?!......

[@augmented2nd666]

Pretty sure with diatonic scales theres 7 positions, one for each note in the scale.

[@asmith4786]

Jared drop the 6th / so much cooler

[@lil.mouse-sr2oi]

You people teach as if we already know it

[@elijahleo5954]

That’s my problem…Break things in the simplest form possible

[@victorpetersen1929]

How? I thought the video was great.

[@criticman123]

Because you should only learn harmonic and melodic minor when youve mastered the more fundamental scales. Just work hard and come back to this in a few months after deep diving into the major and minor scales all positions + keys

[@elijahleo5954]

@@victorpetersen1929 ohhh yeah it’s a great video though

[@iagobroxado]

That's exactly it

[@BionicBrady]

You're an extremely handsome man

[@LarkSist]

Wtf and I thought learning one, unchanging scale was hard

[@tonyred520]

This needs more talking..

[@Stringprodigy]

Way too much. Learn how the scale sounds in one octave and let your ear guide you around the neck. Pattern playing is pointless and not musical.

[@Aduvjpzsao]

Not working for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for everyone else. I found it extremely helpful starting out with patterns and shapes, much easier for me to connect notes and create complex speed phrases for the last 10 years of playing. Scale patterns and shapes also serve as great exercises for both hands as well.
