In this lesson, I show you the modes of melodic minor I use most often. These modes unlock some of the most common chords we find in traditional and modern harmony. There are many transcribed lines in both notation and tab as well as some insight as to how to use the triad pairs derived from these modes. The chord scales are applicable to Dom7's, -7b5's and Major7#5's. Tons of great information, an essential lesson for mastering melodic minor.
