👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much Ed. Greetings from Melbourne Australia
Glad you liked it!
this is youtube chanel that i need.. thanks so much dude
Awesome, glad you like my stuff!
Thank You so Much
great sound
Thanks for this clear explanation!
I love it as always, Ed!
Thanks for love !!!
Great stuff man
thanks man!!!!
Thanks, the scales fit so well.Question. I there a mental shortcut ? i.e. the ii chord base starts on the miii, the V chord base starts a half tone up, and the I starts on its own root..?
I would try to use a simple lick that you can easily transpose or a minor triad or the first four notes of a minor pentatonic
Great class Ed, so encouraging
thanks for laying this out like this. This is a great video!
Thanks man!!!
really thanks maann!
Great!!!!
Thanks
0:29 is that half 'the lick' I hear?
Haha, yes it was.. never realized that
Dang my comment was over a year ago...I feel like I just started learning music not long ago. Man where did time fly to
Hi great video. Why does the f melodic minor work on the d7b5?
F melodic minor scale fits the Dm7♭5 chord because the chord’s notes are in the scale. This scale can be used over seven different chords, just like the C Major scale over 7 diatonic chords in C major
Oh thank you so much.
Whoa dude thank you! I’ve been trying to understand melodic minor more but I’m struggling. Your video helped me a lot. Can you help me understand why F melodic minor works over D7b5?
I'm glad it helped you :)
So basically Melodic minor scale contains 7 different chords and you can use only one scale for all 7 chords (how cool is that)
For example F melodic minor has Fm6, G7sus b9, Abmaj7#5, Bb7#11, C9b13, Dm7b5, E7alt.
I need to make a video on this.
@@EdArmGuitar Thank you for explaining the possible chords that are networked with F melodic minor. It really helps! Problem is I know the scale but I still cannot use it the way jazz people should.
@@meulia just learn a bunch of patterns based on melodic minor scale. Learn triads, for example in fmm Bb triad and C triad.
It works because the diatonic key for Dm7b5 is Eb major (7th mode). Playing F melodic minor over Dm7b5 gets all the Eb major pitches but contains a natural 2 (E natural). It's a nice way to get that natural 2 over the half dim.
Implying D locrian natural 2
Who thumb downed this? What the.... Nice job man, subscribed.
:) lol, thanks dude !
Awesome. I have a question for anyone. What is the theory behind the choice of scale over the particular chord? How would I apply this technique to other keys or 2-5-1s? I don't know WHY the f melodic minor scale is choose for the 2, or why Ab is for the 5. Once I understand that I can use this in any situation.
There are 7 chords that you can play over one melodic minor scale. Simple :)
Just need to know these chords.
So u did the progression on C....how come it was C6...I know it as cmin.maj7...can u explain please
Do you mean Cm69?
@@EdArmGuitar yes sir
@@raktim369 ok :)
So m69 is the chord that comes from the melodic minor scale C d Eb f G A b C
(C Eb G A)
It feels more like 'home' when you arrive to it. So most of the old jazz tunes or even songs used it as the ending chord.
Try using Cm7 instead and you'll see which works better. (You'll probably need some time to get used to the sound of you never used it before) also it works better with the jazz standards melodies when comping. Does that make sense to you ?
@@EdArmGuitar thank u so much...I was actually counting 3 from the root note upto 4 notes to get the chords in all the scales...this gave me a new idea...thank you🙏
great lesson.
While i was watching your lesson, i had to think that you sound like someone else i know. by the way ever heard before that you talk and articulate exactly like the snooker player Judd trump? (Out of context i know, like melodic minor ;-)
Haha, im dying to hear this Judd Trump :)
My accent is pretty messed up I think, I talk few languages and also lived in Midlands for a few years
Hey Ed , I have a question. How about arpeggios, what do you suggest to use over 2 5 1 progression. tks !
There are few levels:
1. can play chord tones
2. Can play upper tones
3. Can use ANY arpeggio/triad from melodic minor scale.
Will make another video on this subject, need at least 10min to explain :)
I hope that helps
@@EdArmGuitar that will be a great class ! Arpeggios are essencial for improvisation. A friend says that a great improviser is a great arpeggios player.
Why G7altered using Ab melodic minor instead of G melodic minor?
It gives you the Root G, b9-Ab, #9- Bb, 3rd-B, #11-Db, b13-Eb, b7-F
Actually u r using the G superlocrian mode, the same thing as the Ab melodic minor
i never been into those names, i like to keep it simple, melodic minor is melodic minor for me :)
Modes are cool, but i never think 'modes' when improvising.
U play each scale starting from the root note of each chord right?
Yes, but it's just an example so you can hear actual scale clearly
This is perfect, thanks. ps check the doll! :)
Okkkk.
