Learning this scale in all positions and memorizing the intervals was such a a pain in the ass... Patterns were ten times more convoluted than major lol

Ben can make any scale at any time sound melodically moving. I absolutely love the way he plays and thinks and approaches music. Nobody sounds like him either.

Thank you so much for checking it out! One of my favorite scales 😀

The Lydian Dominant OR also called Dominant #4 mode of melodic minor is really one of the main scales I use for almost all styles of music

Thanks Ben! Great lesson, especially seeing this scale played with your touch. Many can learn a certain scale, but the touch, feeling, expression,etc will always be individual, almost like how a person walks.

Great lesson where would you use the melodic minor in a blues?

@jefflordan

Ай бұрын

Dipping into Mixolydian b6 is really fun over 7 chords. If it's a blues that can jump between major and minor while soloing, then that would work great. My first thought is something along the lines of Pride and Joy.

@beneunson

In a Major Blues, you could use the Lydian b7 mode on the I chord - for example, if the I chord is C7, you could play C Lydian b7. Thanks for watching!

Good question! In this scale, it's called the "Lydian #5" or "Lydian Augmented" mode, which is different from the standard Lydian which you derive from the Major Scale. Hope that helps! 😀
