LESSON 8

Jazz

The arrangement below Is consists of three different modes of the melodic minor scale and three different starting pitches of the diminished scale.

The first four bars consist of the D melodic minor scale, written in three different moods. The first mode begins in bar three, which is the Dorian b2. The second in bar three is the Lydian augmented. And the 3rd in bar four is the Lydian dominant.

This video is a performance of the scale above.
