Another great accurate lesson Carl. I don’t know how you do it. You must spend a huge amount of time practising this skill before recording it. Well done.

Hey Carl,
what’s up?
We miss your great lessons:)
@FlyingVification Hey thanks for the message. I have been working on a bunch of stuff to make the website better behind the scenes for a couple of weeks and it has been taking all of my time. I am almost done. I hope to start posting a bunch of lessons again this week.
Hello, Carl thank you for this lesson, why don’t these scales sound at all Jazzy? The minor pentatonic sounds very bluesy in all 7 positions, when you add certain notes to to them are there some notes that should be added to these scales to make them sound Jazzy?
Thanks
this is the most helpful video on youtube for this scale. straight to the point, no lame explainations, and no wasting time. thank you
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…
Thanks for the video
@danlovesnan The modes of this scales are very interesting over Dominant chords : Vth mode gives you a Myxolydian tone w/ a b6 : C melodic minor over a G7(b13) ; IVth mode is called Lydian Dominant (D melodic minor over a G7(#11) sounds great : Larry Carlton-ish sound .
And the altered scale for Dominant chords with b9 or #9, b5 or #5 (play the minor scale 1/2 tone up the chord : over G7(#9) play G# melodic minor).
There’s a book from Don Mock “melodic minor revealed”.
Hope it helps !
Carl all these shapes are in the key of G right?
@manuorchestra Nice but simplified further by calling these chords alterd 5ths NOT 11 & 13ths (due to unlikely to be using the perfect 5th in the chord):
C melodic minor over G7#5 is Myxolydian tone w/ a b6.
D melodic minor over a G7b5 is Lydian Dominant.
Also for the altered 5th dominant chord you can use the whole-tone and either the Altered scale or Diminished scale.
less say’in more play’in…
