Good lesson ...straight forward. Some of the comments border on insulting. Negative musicians are a drag.

Basically, yes. "Jazz minor" is another name for the melodic minor. Same scale degrees. However, what we commonly refer to as "melodic minor" is really an ASCENDING melodic minor in traditional theory. The traditional m.m. scale raises the 6th and 7th when ascending, but lowers the 6th and 7th when descending, like a natural minor.

Hi patcatyak, there are four tension-notes in this scale,used in this situation 9-,9+,-13, 5- that sound interesting, also try using the concept of playing A minor pentatonic over F# 7(alt) there you get the 7 and these alterations(5 notes in all=penta)In the beginning it sounds more abstract,but once you get the sound in your ears,quite interesting. Come over to my channel,you're most welcome,greets Vic.

hey dude i can play that wherever i want on the fretboard but can't you play in octaves... what do you think your doing by proving you cant... anyways this isn't part of the scale but try sharpening the fourth aswell...

Only play what you hear. If you don't hear anything, don't play anything.
