Lesson Description:
The chords of the melodic minor scale sound a bit weird, and can be hard to get used to and remember, but if we learn them along the 5th string in this one way, it can serve as a way to practice, hear, and remember the melodic minor chords more easily.

I definitely recommend learning the chords of the melodic minor scale even if you don’t know how or when you’ll use them. Studying the melodic minor chords helps with understanding how chords work from all types of scales, including the ones we use all the time.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)

I've been enjoying playing around with the chords in the Harmonic and Melodic minor scales. Such odd and unique sounds! If you were to write a chord progression or a song using only chords from either of these harmonized scales, what key would it be considered to be in? Is there such a thing as a Harmonic or Melodic minor key? Do you know of any examples of songs that use chords exclusively from either of these scales?

[ZeroFretGuitar]

Thank you for the chord charts! Really helpful

[LooMinn]

Jared, your teaching style is chill, and easy to follow. You have the ability to make mountains into mole- hills😆 
(Meaning, you take heavy-weight music theory and make it easy to understand for players like me.)

[jokester]

Thanks exactly what I was looking for. What a weird scale haha

[DanBarrowMusic]

But, do you not have to reharmonise coming back down the melodic minor scale?

[ArmandoBN]

Adding 7’s because it’s common chord progressions?

Or are these the real chords of the scale and not the previous ones ?

[klerin]

How to solo over melodic minor chords ??? And how to memorize melodic minor scales...

[jakelee]

Actually, I and Ii chords can also be m6 chords

[spacetaco]

But wait... that's... not melodic minor 🤨

Melodic is major 6 and 7 on the way up and minor 7 and 6 back down

Im so confus
